Since this video about the effects of social networking seems to be on every other blog out there, I thought I’d post it as well.
AUSTIN — Testicular cancer survivor Thomas Cantley is pushing a giant ball across America to raise awareness for men’s health.
He quit his job and sold his house to push a six-foot ‘testicle’ from Los Angeles to New York City after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, according to his website.
His website says the entire campaign is funded by the “generosity of the people he meets along the way, whether they have a personal connection with cancer or simply believe in his cause.” Cantley’s goal is to cover the inflatable ball with messages from people he meets on his adventure.
Cantley’s dog, Vader, is accompanying him along the way.
I always think of this scene.
Context: Major Payne, a hardened Marine and a Vietnam War vet, is forced to leave the military and is trying to find a job in the civilian world. He’s having a hard time adjusting.
