FANS TO HONOUR MICHAEL JACKSON ON HIS BIRTHDAY WITH DONATION TO CANCER CHARITY
Michael Jackson fans around the world are making a donation to a cancer charity in honour of Jackson on the anniversary of his birthday this August 29th. Jackson would have been 52.
During his lifetime, Jackson gave away more than US$300 million to charities around the world. The King of Pop still maintains his record in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Charities Supported by a Pop Star." While on tour, Jackson would visit a children's hospital at every stop, donating money and equipment to the hospital and giving toys to sick children. He opened the amusement park and zoo at his Neverland Ranch to sick and disadvantaged children to visit and play in free of charge. He even built rooms with hospital beds in the movie theater so that the very sick children need not miss out.
Fans are continuing his humanitarian efforts by donating to CURE Childhood Cancer in honour of Jackson.
CURE Childhood Cancer funds research on paediatric cancer and the training of paediatric oncologists and researchers to carry out important research studies. CURE's sole focus is the cure for childhood cancer, unlike other organisations which are primarily involved in adult cancer research. CURE also works on improving the care, quality of life and survival rate of children with cancer, and provides education and training to nurses and other caregivers to children with cancer.
