Sign up for Extra Life, help fight cancer

Well, actually I don't think that's true. Folding@Home is a great project but hardly infinitely more helpful. It's just a research study. It's not like after Folding@Home runs, it's going to pop out a miracle cure. It's studying folding of structures in relation to many disease types. This money goes directly to changing the life of an actual cancer patient. I'd say Extra Life is quite a bit more direct then Folding@Home. After all, protein misfolds do occur with the disease but there is no proof whatsoever that it's the end-all-cure to a disease. They are studying the effects not a cure.

Sorry if I seemed to state that. I understand its just a research group. But in terms of actually doing something for the long run of finding a cure so other individuals don't suffer in the future, then yeah, its a LOT better.

yeah, i heard it too, i was wondering how many X3F-ers would sign up. i'm thinking about doing it.
