About Pennies in Action
The vision of Pennies in Action is twofold: First, she hopes to allow everyone, young and old, rich and poor, those with health insurance, and those without, to have ownership in this research. The amount each person gives may be relatively insignificant, for a penny alone has little value, but many pennies make many dollars. The important thing is that the giving should not be burdensome. But success in funding the research and the power to make a difference can come from just a few pennies if everyone takes part in even a small way. A wise man once said that a big number multiplied by a small number is a big number! Secondly, this program has the potential to empower by keeping people informed of both the progress in the research and the advancement in the financial support of the research. Since all those who contribute their few pennies hold a concrete stake in the research that can remove cancer as a threat, Uschi believes that full disclosure must be the norm. To this end, Uschi plans to keep all financial progress clearly in view with an image of pennies joined together end-to-end. If each year 15 million people, just 5 percent of the American population, gave just one penny a month, this important research could be supported and the distance toward the attainment of the goal could be reached. Power to the people comes from a powerful belief in the strength of the combined energy of all those who will benefit
