Its great to see this community helping others, one of my first posts was about how Steemit could be a great platform for philanthropy, well done!
If you ever felt like you wanted to do more than raise some funds, think about actually helping to find a cure. Seems impossible doesnt it, but in fact BOINC projects like the World Community Grid do amazing work with your unused computer https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=413
Not only that you can be rewarded in Gridcoin for your efforts, the community regularly hooks up on BeyondBitcoin here on Steem.
