The campaign encourages everyone to donate $1 to their favorite cancer charity today. The comedians have all posted videos explaining why they're fighting cancer. Check out Chelsea Handler's below.Abolish Cancer, which has led other viral campaigns to raise money for cancer charities, says, "The hope is to use comedians, especially on a day known for humor, to draw attention to a serious topic and raise money to fight cancer."
