DaMulta's story really put a tear to my eye and the other stories have really touched my heart. I think posting these personal stories is a good way to educate others and know that we can all make a difference. I am always trying to spread the word to my friends, family and co-workers about crunching to fight cancer. I run 2 rigs 24/7 and today after work I think I'm gonna go to my parents house and start crunching their comp on 100% Childhood Cancer.

Crunch hard my fellow TPUers!

After reading this, I'm now running exclusively Help Fight Childhood Cancer, it'll take a little while to clear out the cache of WUs on my rigs that includes Rice as well, but within the next couple days I'll only be crunching HFCC

Tbh, i've just downloaded Boinc and am crunching now. Let hope we can see some differences soon.

I wont be able to crunch alot, electricity bill is high enough. But i will when i can.

Thanks for joining! All the resources you might need should be in the link in my sig. Depending on how much you run it, you should be able to get about 2000-2200 points per day (for comparison, each Help Fight Childhood Cancer is worth about 80-120 points)

Thank you. Think of it this way:

You crunch for a year, and because of your crunching (collectively) they find the cure. Your crunching found the cure 1 minute earlier. You are a damned hero, because you just saved over 13 lives.
(this based on the 2007 study that 20,000 people die each day of cancer)

Very well put, thanks! :toast:

I'll remember this when people tell me that the little bit I can do doesn't help

When people tell me that I'm not doing enough to make a difference, I tell them that it's a lot better than the nothing that they are doing

I'm going to bring this back to the top, as a reminder of why we crunch.
After reading this, I switched over to entirely HFCC, and my quad finished with it's last rice WUs last night, so I'm crunching exclusively HFCC. I have no plans to change back to anything else until at least the end of November

Estimated by BOINCview, I currently have 16 days of HFCC WUs cached across the Q9400, the E6550, and the Pentium M (about 12 days of then are on the Q
