Cancer Victims Fighting Back On Popular Website
Jacksonville, Florida – An online support community has been created for families and friends that have been directly or indirectly affected by cancer. The website, Laughatcancer.com, is a safe and rapidly expanding forum where people can share stories of triumph, offer remembrances of loved ones lost or openly discuss their daily struggle with the disease.
“I started out by creating a local chapter here in Jacksonville nearly three years ago, but I was unable to find a place to hold our meetings on a regular basis,” said Founder and President Crystal Kauffman, who is also waging a relentless battle with the disease. In addition, many of the members were disabled and unable to attend the meetings. After partnering with Ning.com in Feb. 2008, I created the Laugh at Cancer Organization Inc. and the Laugh at Cancer Support Community online.
According to Kauffman, the online community has grown to more than 100 people since it was launched, and the members, ranging from children and teens to the elderly, hail from many different countries. Kauffman and Ning.com recently teamed up to create the LACSC Youth Support Community and the Pet Cancer Support Community in order to help cancer victims with specific needs. “In this time of uncertainty, our mission is to help each member focus on living beyond cancer’s reach,” stated Kauffman.
“Every new member has an opportunity to meet new friends and honor loved ones ravaged by this devastating disease. In the future, we hope to become a non-profit organization and offer more resources for all types of cancers; while raising awareness and celebrating the beauty of life. Therefore, we invite the public to join us in our effort to help make a difference,” Kauffman concluded.

LACSC Day of Hope Project
November 04, 2008
The initials LACSC stands for the organization, which is called the Laugh at Cancer Support Community. Oct. 28th, I celebrated the first ever LACSC Day of Hope and enjoyed making the patients smile. Now, the 28th of every month, I will be visiting local cancer centers to give out small gifts to cancer patients unless it falls on a weekend. Each month, I will pick a different clinic to visit in the Jacksonville, Florida area. These small gifts will give each patient hope and encourage them to continue their fight. (Read more)
