You can help!


One woman in the United States is diagnosed with Breast Cancer every 3 minutes.
One woman in the United States dies of Breast Cancer every 13 minutes.
One in every 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer at some point in their life.

One of my old college pals, Sharon Montgomery, signed up for a 3-day event in Cleveland to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer. Sharon is going to walk 60-miles over 3 days and hopes to raise at least $2200 for the Komen Foundation. The money raised will go toward future research, education, screening, and treatment of Breast Cancer.

Statistics say that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer - chances are good that someone you know will be affected. Every dollar helps - if you can spare $10.00, please follow the link below and support Sharon....you never know, you could save the life of your mom, your wife, a friend, your daughter, etc.

Good luck Sharon!

Checking for new pics of the cutie Z-man and found the link to your friend's awesome effort. I'm issuing a challenge to everyone to put up $10- more if you want. That's about 4-5 trips to the coffee shop - or maybe just one if you count the price of gas.

My Mom had breast cancer 32 years ago - technology has advanced since then but it is not any less frightening.
