Susan G Koman Foundation!!!

Anyone watching NFL or other mainstream media can't help but notice that October is Breast Cancer awareness month. This weekends NFL games are "Pink" to get the word out. Breast Cancer Can Be Beat!!!!

Personally, and more somberly, I lost a sister (48yrs old) to Breast Cancer three years ago, she was a single mother with two teenage daughters. Please consider the Susan G Komen Foundation as they made a difference in all our lives.

The Komen Foundation gave the oldest of my nieces a substantial scholarship that helped lead her through a very tough time. She was a freshman in college and would have given up had it not been for thie little bit of encouragment Susan G Komen Foundation provided.

After seeing firsthand how devastating this disease can be, please be generous, and support those who are suffering through this terrible disease!!

Please give to the SUSAN G KOMEN FOUNDATION

It's a great cause. Everyone should give whatever they are able.

Sorry your sister was taken away by this terrible disease.

Good note Michael!

I did the MS150 bike ride this weekend (yes, a 150-mile ride ) and will be doing a ride for breast cancer awareness here in a few weeks. Support good causes!

(notice our breast cancer ribbon on the jersey too!)

The Susan Komen foundation as well as Lance Armstrong's LiveStrong foundation are important causes close to my partner and I. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the kind replies

We hosted a "Breast Cancer Awareness" golf scramble at or local golf club this afternoon and had a record turn-out despite the COLD weather in the midwest. It is a great cause

Michael,
So sorry for the loss of your sister. My wife is a survivor and my older sister has just finished chemo last week.
Very important cause that affects all us. Thanks for the post!
