ThrowAwayCancer Project

Throw-Away

Team YoYoJam team member Mikhail Tulabut has started a new project called ThrowCancerAway:

Message from Mikhail:

“ThrowCancerAway” is a project aimed to raise awareness and funds to help those in the battle against cancer.

In November 2010, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. A lymphnode cancer that required an 8 month run of not-so-fun chemotherapy.

A year later, I am now in remission; but remission is still not a cure. This is why I’ve started the “ThrowCancerAway” project. For those who have survived, for those still in the battle, and for those we remember.

To kick off the project Mikhail has put up for auction a prototype of his upcoming signature series yo-yo the Vigilante!

Support a good cause and you could walk away with an epic yo-yo too!
