Run Liyan Run

We first met Liyan back in 1995 when I (Sue) was working at Channel 1 and my son (Caz) was 10 years old. Liyan had recently moved to the US from China, was somewhat shy about his English, and was the best HTML hand coder working for us. Our pixel image is from that time, when Caz would come in to work with me, play computer games and surf the newly blossoming Web with us. In the summer of 1996, Caz had me shave half his head and dye the remaining side bright green. Liyan had a cross country road race and asked me to shave some crazy equation on his head having to do with Einstein's theory of relativity and time dilation and involving the Lorentz factor, or some such thing.   

The Pledge

OneMillionDollarFlag.org started as one person, then grew to a dedicated group, then a passionate crowd, and with your help we're hoping to start a movement. The OneMillionDollarFlag.org team is running to support cancer research: our pledge is to run over 2000 miles with a 100x50 inch flag made of images from sponsors in 2007. We will run everyday and physically show the flag to over two million people as well as attract 20 million people online visitors. For details see. About Us

MIT Center for Cancer Research

The mission of the MIT Center for Cancer Research (CCR) is to apply the tools of basic science and technology to understanding how cancer is caused, progressed and responds to treatment. The CCR is uniquely poised to bring the best science and the best minds to bear on cancer and cancer treatment. For more information please visit its web site: MIT Center for Cancer Research.
