Feedback on Retail Idea

I would just like some feedback on my new Business Oncopeg:Oncopeg is going to be the first Retailer to donate 3% of all Sales Proceeds to the American Cancer Society. I opened Oncopeg because my mother died of cancer about 4 years ago when I was about 15 years old. Soon after, my father was diagnosed with kidney failure and is now on dialysis still awaiting his second kidney transplant. I figured people would rather shop with me than some big-box retailer that takes all of the profits. I am very sincere in my effort to become successful and to help the proper foundations, but I would greatly appreciate any feedback from my fellow entrepreneurs. I am 19 years old and would love to hear from some of the seasoned vets. I decided to start my business young while my bills are low and not many things tying me down. My web address is www.Oncopeg.com. Please give me any feedback what-so-ever (If you think I have nothing and am wasting my time let me know, If there are improvements needed let me know). Thank You so much for all of your help and support. I hope one day I can be as successful as many of you are.

With respect to the quality of your idea. Also first rate. I think you might want to fine tune your product offering a bit more, perhaps specialize in a specific product category or type of product.
You may need to invest - or learn more - about web development and marketing. This kind of idea is perfect for public relations. Mentions in newspapers and television could drive a lot of traffic. Journalists love to do stories on this kind of business initiative.
I really respect what you are doing. At present my dog is undergoing chemotherapy, and while a dog with cancer certainly does not compare to your mother, it`s tough nonetheless.
Thanks Again,
Sam Coon

I`m bothered by the word Oncopeg. What does that word mean? Why are you using it? It`s hard to remember. I can`t relate it to anything? when I went into the site, it was not displaying.

Your passion will take you places!! i also have a business with heart and have been featured in several publications already. you will get noticed, but they have to know you exist. do you have a marketing company/consultant. if not, i have the name of mine for you. i have launched my venture less than a month ago and Just a Cloud Away has been featured in 5 publications with more on the way.
Sincerely
Diana
