Breast Cancer

I attended a presentation today given by a very passionate young lady who works for the "Susan G. Komen for the Cure" foundation. This is an organization that helps low income women with no health insurance, or women who are having trouble paying what insurance does not for breast cancer treatment. As you know, cancer treatment is not cheap at all! But this group raises not only funds but awareness about the devastation breast cancer can cause if not detected early, and how to get financial assistance depending on your age bracket and ability to pay.
I volunteered to chair a team for an upcoming Komen for the cure race to raise money for this group. The event is October 4th at Disney. For more information on how you can help, or if you need help please visit: www.komen.org; komencentralflorida.org and www.ActNowEndBreastCancer.org.

Did you know that Macy's at Millenia sells Wacoal? For every purchase they give a $2 donation to Susan G. Komen for the cure.
