Matthew Canei, the son of Janie Canei, started FacesForACure.com to help raise funds for Breast Cancer Research, and to aid his mother, who is now considered terminal with medical bills, mortage, etc. due to her inability to work. The site uses a unique concept which is a virtual "wall" designed for face shots of survivors or those who had cancer to build a huge online spectacle, uniting thousands of people worldwide in an inspiring digital composition.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 19, 2007 — Janie Canei is battling Breast Cancer for the second time, this time in her lungs, neck, and brain. She is presently considered terminally ill, but she remains positive and focused on getting better with the support of her son Matthew.
Matthew, who is an 18-year old college student at Savannah College of Art and Design-Atlanta, had the idea to create an online environment that would provide motivation, inspiration, and support for not only his mother, but for anyone in a similar predicament. He created FacesForACure.com to be a huge online "wall" in which visitors purchase space on this wall to place a photo of themselves or a loved one who has ever battled cancer.
Matthew's invisions a huge digital composition with hundreds, potentially even thousands of survivors or cancer fighters digitally side-by-side creating a large spectacle, which he believes will leave the viewer feeling motivated, and inspired to continue their battle against the disease. Matthew did not want this site to only benefit his mother, but also all of society. He vowed that no less than 50% of all proceeds from the wall will be donated to breast cancer research, to aid in the discovery of a cure. His site can be visited at http://www.facesforacure.com.
Matthew looks forward to your future contributions to the wall, as he will stop at nothing to see his vision in the flesh.
