About Us...
Hello, my name is Tony, I am one of the Co-Founders of Money Is Sexy.org. The young lady pictured here is my mother. She lost her 2 year battle with Breast Cancer over 20 years ago. She had a mastectomy, but was never Cancer free anytime after her diagnosis or her mastectomy. I thought to myself back then how can I help, how can I get involved? But I never came to any resolute conclusions on how to get involved. I would entertain the thought from time to time but life would always overrule my intentions.
Recently, a chain of events refocused my attention. Our site moneyissexy.org was parked on the shelf gathering cyber dust for a couple of years; with no thoughts about making it operational. But here’s what happened, me and a friend, Sherrye, were having a messaging conversation and during that conversation I replied to her that Money Is Sexy. She said, “OOOHHHH! I’m going to use that one.” That evening she posted MONEY IS SEXY on her Facebook wall. After posting it she received several comments that stimulated me. What immediately came to mind was a statement that one of my mother’s friend use to say to me. “Poochie,” she would say. “IT AIN’T HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT; IT’S HOW YOU USE IT.” The light went off, in my head ding, ding, ding!

“IT FIGHTS BREAST CANCER.”
I immediately contacted my Co-Founders with the idea. So over 20 years later, I’ve found a way to get involved, the cycle has come full circle for me and here we are with our site dedicated to the fight on Cancer. Sherrye, thank you for posting MONEY IS SEXY on your wall and prompting me and my Co-Founders (Greg and Maiysha) into action.
Unfortunately, just as we started working on this site, my brother was diagnosed with throat Cancer. He underwent radiation and chemotherapy, presently he is in remission.
Once the site was complete my good friend Sherrye reviewed the site. Her comment...
"I absolutely LOVE it... and I pray that what tiny little spark I may have helped ignite will become a roaring flame in the endless fight against Breast Cancer!"
