This is an inspirational website that shows how social networking can be used to benefit charities and musicians. Rosie has twice been victim to cancer, “I was told the dreaded words “You have Stomach Cancer”, Rosie reveals, “The first thought that ran through my head was: how long have I got?” Thanks to a combination of medical treatment and musical therapy, the cancer is now in remission.

The tag line for Rosie’s cancer fund.com is ‘Music Beats Cancer’. This does not just refer to the effects of musical therapy, which have helped Rosie and others overcome life threatening illness, but also to the music download scheme Rosie has created.

“I give 50% of all revenue from downloads to the Australian Cancer Foundation and I use the remaining money to develop new ways to continue raising charity.” Rosie explains.

Users can download Rosie’s music and chat with other people interested in raising money for cancer research. The Facebook connect widget means new users can sign up with their existing Facebook details and can update their Facebook status through Rosie’s cancer fund.com. Rosie has built this site herself on the premium plan, and made use of rss feeds, drop down menus and customisation to make this a professional site for a noble cause.
