12 members of a girls swim team have
gotten together and published a new cookbook as a cancer fundraiser for research into finding a cure for cancer. Dana
Simms, a member of the swim team, recently lost her uncle Dan Stryer, 41, a doctor and researcher, to brain cancer.
According to Simms, Cooking For The Cure cookbook editor, "When
we announced the idea of a community cookbook to raise money for cancer, the recipes began coming in immediately. People
would stop us in the street with tears in their eyes, thanking us for doing this project and telling us about a family
member or friend with cancer." Others would send emails. The girls received over 450 recipes from people wanting to help with the project. To date, sales from the cookbook has raised in excess of $20,000 dollars. The money will be donated to cancer a charity for cancer research. The Cooking For The Cure cookbooks are on sale for $15.
