UPDATED STORY
I am a little bit sorry that we were not able to give away the $100 last Friday (2-27-09) as nobody submitted their story about fighting cancer. So, we are bumping it up to $500 to be given away on March 31, 2009.
UPDATE 3-25 Your Wellness Connection has added $500 in services to this giveaway.
I don’t know if we can call it Extreme Medical Bill Makeover; but that is the idea we are going for.
As part of our new One Million Cells program, Cells for Cells will choose one deserving and inspirational family that is battling cancer and write them a check for $500.
Here are the rules. Please follow them perfectly. (The rules are subject to change at any time, so check back often for updates):
- Email your story about battling cancer to jason(dot)cellsforcells(at)gmail(dot)com
- The subject line must be One Million Cells: My Story
- Your story can be your own, your family member or friends
- Your story must include your current situation and how you encourage others that are battling cancer
- You must follow me on twitter @jasonclements
- You must recycle at least one cell phone w/ Cells for Cells
- If you have less than 10 phones to recycle – you foot the shipping bill ***SEE NOTE BELOW
- If you have more than 10 phones to recycle – Cells for Cells will foot the shipping bill
- The deadline is 12:00pm (noon, central time) on Friday, March 27th, 2009
- We will announce the winner on Tuesday March 31st, 2009

MOST IMPORTANTLY Spread the word. The more cell phones Cells for Cells recycles, the more families we will help.
Cells for Cells will choose one family as the winner of this giveaway. If Cells for Cells chooses your story, we will contact you via email or phone. Please include your phone number in your email. We will write the check directly to the individual (until our legal team tells us to do it another way). That way, you can apply the $500 to your medical bills or associated costs as you see necessary. [Medical Bills and costs can be: doctor’s bill, pharmacy bill, mortgage payment, gas for your car, flowers for a loved one, etc.]
***Shipping notes
Shipping about 10 phones will cost you between $5 – $10 dollars via the post office. To avoid this, let your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. know that you are participating in this giveaway. Have them help you get more than 10 phones and then request a FREE shipping label.
***Other notes
By participating, you give Cells for Cells permission to use your story to promote Cells for Cells, Recycling, Cancer Patient advocacy, etc. You may have to provide other info as required by our legal team – I’ll get that answer asap.
