First saw this via Joe Boughner, and by now it's taken over the world.Social media guy Drew Olanoff(right), who's someone I'd never heard of, got diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma on May 20.
And what's he doing? Blaming it. For everything. Lost his keys? Cancer. Twitter down? Damn cancer. I love that. When I got diagnosed, I tried to be something like him. Most of the time I succeeded. But I didn't do it this way, and I admire him for setting up Blame Drew's Cancer and for encouraging people to blame THEIR troubles on his cancer. And for deciding to find companies to sponsor the site by donating per "blame".
I plan on doing it a whole lot. Even Lance is doing it.
My favorite quote from his site: "I have cancer, but cancer doesn’t have me."
Sadly enough, the Bloggers With Cancer club is large and growing every day. There's me, Dooce, Derek, Katie, Drew, Zoom... it goes on and on. And you know what? I blame Drew's cancer.
And if you're some huge corporate dude reading this post -- please work a deal with Drew. It's would be a very cool thing for you to do.
Ciao,
Bob.
