Any woman who fights back against cancer deserves my entire suppport. I only have 3 direct daughters and many hundreds of female friends - guys, if you know what this means to them, join in my celebration of their survival. If you do not understand, simply shake your head and move away.

is there controversy between katy couric and matt lauer??

Well, sure, more people are affected by cancer, but when you speak to people trying to raise money for other causes, it doesn't take long before they admit cancer gets the lion's share of the attention. Is this telethon really going to cure cancer? Yet, Jerry's telethon--regardless of what a relic it may be--actually helped people with Muscular Dystrophy.

I guess they don't matter as much anymore.

Yes, this will step on the toes of the Jerry Lewis telethon, but let's face it: That show is a relic, and more people are affected by cancer, so this has the potential to raise A LOT more money.

I also don't think you can discount the role Fox's "Idol Gives Back" played in the networks' decision to stage this event.

Seems like the major US networks don't do telethons anymore.

WOW~ I am all for this type of Telethone and I will donate! However wouldn't this be stepping on the toes Jerry Lewis's Labor day telethon's!
