Wasn't even aware of this coin until now after searching for some new sha256d coins to mine on seems a nice coin and doing something for curing. But is anything actually going towards the cause and been donated to them or is this just marketing to cure for cancer but not actually helping the cause. I have seen many coins with stuff like this in the past and they never actually did anything. If this is actually doing something than nothing than am more than interested to mien and also donate providing its going to the cause.

You don't necessarily have to donate coins to the cause. Any SHA256 mining that is done is used to support/secure the network like other mineable coins, that's one part. The other part is protein folding using GPUs/CPUs. The work that is done during the protein folding are actually part of ongoing experiments being hosted through Stanford. The folding side is true distributed computing, llike previous "@home" projects like SETI@home. So in this case, your work IS your donation to the project, and they are rewarding your effort with some coins as well.

The CureCoin team is the fastest growing team in this particular folding project community: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=224497
Team CureCoin is #19 and rapidly rising up the ranks.
