Did you know that EVERY 69 SECONDS a woman diest of breast cancer? That is too many too often. Lately it seems that everyone I talk to, everywhere I look...breast cancer is around. Pink ribbon magnets are on cars (including mine!) and rallies to raise awareness and funds for research happen on nearly every campus around the country.
In the past few months, I have turned to http://www.komen.org/ for help and guidance to understand breast cancer. They have provided information on everything from how to support your loved one through treatment and be a good "Co-Survivor" to how to start self-exams and such sooner. I've learned what's important to know, what my doctor needs to know, and what my family - especially my mom and sister - need to know.
Please take a moment to visit http://www.69-seconds.org/ to sign the petition to add breast cancer to the UN's millenium goals, support the Komen foundation, and learn more about breast cancer. We can't know too much. If just one of you reading this can help make a difference in the world affected by breast cancer, this post has done it's job.
Every 69 seconds.
