Why do you do it?
. And yes my writing is overly long.
One good reason, of many
I hope your mom is OK now. My mom is going through the chemo stuff right now. She didn't react well to it, so they cut the dose back. Unfortunately, this means she had to do six sessions instead of four. I think she has one to go.danball1976 said
I do it for one reason because my mom's side of the family has a history of Breast cancer. My mom and my Great Grandmother had breast cancer in the same breast. My Great Granmother died before I was born and had breast cancer for 15-20yrs before dying of it. My mom had it in 1991 and took the requisite Chemo and radiation therapy that was par for the course back then
Yeah, she's doing pretty well, she does get tired easily though because of all that stuff, and she didn't loose her hair when she had chemo and radiation.profdlp said

No, Sir!Also to help your team
It's your team. on!
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

I do it for the free beer and ladies!
You know it .. and so they should as well. It's called 'power-recruiting'topherice had this to say
FormFactor and CaffieneMe threatened to beat me severely if I didn't install a client and start Folding for Team93.
Welcome inEyesOnly had this to say
I first came to this site a week ago following a link about the catalyst 3.8 drivers causing trouble. As i read i noticed that several post had pictures about something called f@h. After checking around i decided that i might as well fold as well so i signed on to the forums and installed the software.
Though my slow rig won't be turning in many wu:s it will at least help and the forums seems gret in general (though i've only been a member for a few hours) and this is the first computer forum i've ever entered.
on everyone
There is a history of both cancer and Alzheimer's disease on both sides of my family, so it seemed a natural to try to help Stanford out with running the folding project by donating my unused cpu cycles. I lost my father's father when I was still a young boy in 1962, to a non-malignant growth that basically took over his liver. In 1979 I lost my mother's father to a stroke brought on by the effects of radiation and chemo and surgery for the colon cancer he was diagnosed with in 1975 or 76. In the mid 1980's, my mother's mother started showing all the classic signs of early onset Alzheimer's disease, which she was thankfully spared from suffering the full affects of when she died of a massive heart attack in 1988. The previous statement might sound cold, but next I was to see the devestation that Alzheimer's disease can do to a loved one when my father's mother started showing Alzheimer's symptoms shortly after Grandma Moulin died and watched it slowly erase her mind over the next 3 years to where she didn't even know her own children any more, much less her grandchildren. When the Lord finally took her home it was actually a blessing as we then knew that she was suffering no more. Also around this time my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which was successfully treated with radiation and chemo. Around 1997 or 98, my Dad's brother died of cancer and it was just terrible to see what that dreadful disease had done to him. He turned from a healthy looking older man to a skeleton in only around 3 months. I just learned a couple of weeks ago that my cousin Brad has just been diagnosed with colon cancer and is also showing some spread to the liver via cat scans or mri, but his liver functions are still showing normal. He has just started radiation and chemo and the prognosis is guarded but good for his recovery.
