5. Martin’s Ride’s Failure
• Martin’s Ride wasn’t “How can we consistently
sustainable:
– Not going to make that ride raise $1M or more
again. annually for cancer
– Spent $40,000 to raise research.”
$30,00.
– Like all “events” network - Question Martin asked
effect is muted (marketing during chemo after Martin’s
stops with end of event). Ride To Cure Cancer.

10. Idea:
Create A Crowdfunding Platform Exclusively For
Comprehensive Cancer Centers:
• Harness power Internet to support cancer research:
– Donations go directly to research donors care about.
– Small thank you gifts help donors feel involved (similar to
KickStarter “perks”).
– Donors feel empowered by participation.

11. • How does Cure Cancer Starter Work?
– Each Cancer Center has significant area within the
platform where:
• Doctors create “campaigns” sharing research with
potential supporters (we will help create campaigns
at first).
• Supporters follow Cancer Centers, Researchers and
Research.
• Supporters earn social capital, badges and other
recognition for support.

14. Funding: Story of Cancer Trust

Elizabeth Martin Story of Cancer Trust.
• Trust to fund new ways to use technology to help cancer
patients, doctors, researchers and administrators.
• All costs associated with developing, implementing and
maintaining Cure Cancer Starter covered by trust.

Starter and manage digital assets going forward.
• A board will be established.

revenue.
– Costs are low (time to create campaigns
only no cash ever due to trust).
– Helps Cancer Centers compete for Google
listings, traffic and donations they bring (see
