Worthy Cause!

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is this Saturday! I'm going to be there.
If any of you wish to help raise money for a very common disease (breast cancer) in women (and even men) come on out and walk or run! Two of my daughters and I walk it which is the case for most of the folks! It starts at Mall St. Vincent at 8:45 and it's a 5K. It's fun and you get your exercise done early!

I think it's great you are doing this Pokie! Hats off to you but enough of our life at this house if given daily to cancer so I'll sit it out. Did you know more money is given to breast cancer research than any other cancer research?

The preservation of boobs is something both men and women can get behind.

Unfortunately Joe ( and I thought you were very smart)when breast cancer is involved they don't usually preserve them, they end up removing them! All in an effort to preserve life.

Exactly, which is why we need research to prevent it. This doesn't raise money for performing mastectomies, it raises money to try and make them unnecessary.

Yes the world will be a much happier and healthier place once this disease is eradicated!
