Not sure if you've heard of this, but 3M Corporation (they make Post
It's) is building the World's Largest Pink Ribbon; in Times Square for
breast cancer awareness month in October. For every person who clicks on
this link and signs up, Post-It will donate $1 to breast cancer research
and place a Post-It in their name on the billboard. Please sign up and
pass along!
Thanks!

Something else to consider, buy find the cure stamps.

As you may be aware, the
US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that affects so many of our mothers, sisters and friends.

Instead of the routine 37 cents for a stamp, this one costs 40 cents. The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $7.40. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this vital research.

Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care. I would urge you to do two things TODAY:

1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.
2. E-mail your friends to do the same. We all know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in this drive. I think we can all afford the additional 60 cents the new book costs.

I want to sign-up (my aunt has breast cancer, so I want to support the movement), but I gather it's not worldwide, only for US. Too bad.

But it asks for a state, what should I put? Sad

I have an idea though. I'll put the link in an email and forward it to those who have relatives there. Or maybe forward it to everyone, let them do the rest. Wink
