    I agree. That's a great slogan. We ALL need a cure.

    FireKracker, what does it say on the t-shirt you're wearing in your avatar?

    Julie -  on your FB post!!!

    Re: the stats.... One of the things I have always told myself from the beginning is I AM NOT A STATISTIC!!! Yes, I can use stats to educate, but as far as living my life day to day, they have no meaning to me.

    On another subject, Ladies - please tell me what you know about this organization:

    Breast
    Cancer Research Foundation

    http://www.bcrfcure.org/

    It
    has a maximum four-star rating on Charity Navigator.

    The
    wording on their home page (Blog) was especially poignant to me:


    This October, join us and turn awareness into action!

    It all
    started in 1993 in Evelyn Lauder’s kitchen. Over a cup of coffee, Mrs. Lauder
    and her dear friendDr. Larry
    Norton    began a
    conversation that, over time, would changethe history of breast cancer. Recognizing the power of
    research and its potential to change the lives of millions of women and men,
    they realized that to tackle this disease a new approach was critical.

    They
    believed research was the way forward and founded BCRF on the belief that
    funding research was the only obstacle between breast cancer and a cure. Today,
    we remain committed as ever to advancing the world’s most promising research
    because we see its ability to transform lives each and every day. Evelyn’s
    mission has become ours, and we want to make it yours.

    Everyone
    has the power to play a role in eradicating this disease. This October, we
    invite you to #BeTheEnd. Be the end of fear. Be the end of hospital visits. Be
    the end of side effects and needless suffering. Be the end of loss. The end of
    breast cancer begins with each and every one of us.

    Start a
    fundraiser.    Share your
    story.Make a donation.Spread the word by sharing your commitment to BCRF with
    friends and family on your social networks    . Honor someone you
    love who has been affected by breast cancer. Inspire your friends and family to
    #BeTheEnd.

    No
    matter what you do, when you support BCRF, you support research. And when you
    support research, you are making a lasting impact in the fight against breast
    cancer.

    Until
    the number of deaths from breast cancer is zero, we will not stop.

    Join us, and help fuel the research needed today to save lives
    tomorrow.

    Everyone can be part of the solution. We are all part of the
    cure.

    How will you #BeTheEnd of breast cancer?
