The Breast Cancer Site

[Sandi Moses]

Some of you may be familiar with The Breast Cancer Site and others may not be, so let me explain.

Quoted from their site:

• The Breast Cancer Site was founded to help offer free mammograms to women in need — women for whom early detection would not otherwise be possible. Since its launch in October 2000, the site has established itself as a leader in online activism and in the fight to prevent breast cancer deaths.
  
• With a simple, daily click of the pink button at The Breast Cancer Site, visitors help provide mammograms to those in need. Visitors pay nothing. Mammograms are paid for by the site's sponsors and distributed by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
  

This month, if the site receives 6,000,000 clicks their premier sponsor will donate $20,000. The month is 2/3 gone and they are only just over half way to that goal. Everybody knows someone who survived or died from breast cancer. This is a totally free and painless way to help fund the cause of finding a cure.

There are 5 other charitable sites associated with this one. Clicking on all five takes less than one minute. I have been doing this for years.

Would you care to join me?

Okay Sandi…I just did my first daily click!

I do know a few people who have breast cancer…including my Aunt who found out a few months ago.
Thanks for the link and I am happy to join you!

Thank you Sandi for bringing this to our attention. My neighbor next door and the one across the street are both breast cancer survivors. I will make this a part of my daily routine.

Thanks Sandi, I clicked

My grandmother (who I'm very close to) found out a couple of years ago that she had pretty advanced breast cancer, and during the course of her treatments she found out that she had cervical cancer as well.

She was first diagnosed just a few months after losing her husband of 55 years, and has since undergone heavy chemotherapy, radiation, mastectomy, extended hospital stays... She has had a very rough time these past few years but has been doing pretty good lately. Hopefully things stay good, but you never know from one day to the next...

My accountant at work has been taking breast cancer treatments since last Christmas as well, my other grandfather died from a recurrence of cancer of the throat, one of my neighbours was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the base of the esophagus and lesions in the lungs and was only given a short time to live....the list goes on.

As Sandi said, it's very likely that we all know someone who has or has had breast cancer or even some form of cancer. It is appalling how much disease and sickness there is in the world, and those of us with our health should be very thankful for it.

Thanks Sandi

With my own personal experience with it, I know how bad it is and the effects it has on every one around you. There are thousands of people who can not get treated because of their financial situations. If it weren't for those that give donations and volunteers, there would be lots of people left un-treated.
