    This is a joke. How much MONEY did he raise though? His whole intention was to hype his company and not help with raising money for cancer. His whole purpose in doing this was to beat a record. That's sad and that's everywhere - his self promotion. Yuck!

    Posh (you didn't seem to identify yourself so I will respond here).
    Our intentions to create #BeatCancer were very public and were solely about raising $ for cancer. The idea was conceived by my partner Tamara Knechtel who is a survivor of this ugly disease. The Guinness achievement while great did not drive our intentions. As for the money we raised it has been public what we raised which was $70k. Imagine if we had more than 72 hours what we could have done and raised for Cancer.

    Hi Angela,

    Thanks so much for covering the #beatcancer effort. We were thrilled to be part of it and help raise funds for cancer research. Was great to see the whole social media community rally around a cause that's so near and dear to many of us.

    Cheers,

    Angela,

    Thanks for covering this it was truly an amazing project to be a part of and one of our agencies must gratifying work. Cancer took my aunt who raised me away and I still hurt. We watch as my partner Tamara Knechtel struggles with this disease daily. It was a team effort and you are a part of our extended family
