There already exists several awareness campaigns for all types of cancer, such as the wear it pink, movember etc, if people dedicated the same effort in supporting and collecting money for these campaigns as they do to the current selfie trend then we might be able to fund some essential research. AND while I am on the subject there is a sad neglect and ignorance that Dementia is one of the top causes of death in this country and sadly its funding level for research is about 10% of the research budget for cancer. So..do a selfie for whatever your reasons but firstly consider putting your money where your mouth is. ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/vsob1/mortality-statistics--deaths-registered-in-england-and-wales--series-dr-/2012/sty-causes-of-death.html theguardian/society/2013/dec/11/dementia-research-funding-cancer-alzheimers#start-of-comments
