Who remembers when we HAD to remember telephone numbers?  We had to remember our home number, our friends numbers, our relatives, even before 911 we were told to remember or at least have the emergency numbers next to our telephones in the event we needed them.

Our beloved movies and television shows had telephone numbers than many of us still revere and can even quote.  Think of the Ghostbusters (555-2368) or Doc Emmet Brown's (4-4385) telephone numbers that several of us have memorized, however there is one telephone number that is known the world over and it has been placed into a connection for good; Tommy Tutone's 867-5309/Jenny.

Yes, the telephone number is now a cancer support line in which a radio ad features a woman's voice purporting to be Jenny states, "Hey, it’s Jenny – yeah, that Jenny. People call my number all the time to see who picks up – they were dared, karaoke, bachelor parties, road trips. And I love that you all know my number better than your own mother’s. But it’s time this number did some good.  That’s why I’m forwarding 867-5309 to the Cancer Support Community help line."

By dialing 1-CSC (272)-867-5309, you are forward to free access to professionals which can provide or point you to the resources necessary and educate potential patients and caregivers to appropriate services.

In a People Magazine interview with Tommy Heath of the band, he supported the use of the telephone number with CSC and Gilda's Club's campaign as he had "some family members who are struggling with cancer."  He added that he had also dealt with a minor form of skin cancer.  "Cancer is affecting us all," he added.
