Hi all, I just received notice that Avon Canada is again raising money for breast cancer and they have a very unique way of doing it. They have set up a web site ( http://www.reasonsforhope.ca. ) and for every story you submit about someone with breast cancer they will donate $1. That's it. Please pass this web site on and if one million people will tell their story, that will mean $1m dollars for breast cancer research. My mother died of breast cancer in 1972 and I have already put her story there. 
I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.

Only 20 people have read this post and that is very disappointing. Breast cancer cannot be beaten if we don't raise money for research. Please go to the Avon website and type a short note about someone you know that has had or has breast cancer. Avon will donate $1 for each story. It costs you nothing but a few minutes of your time. Thanks for letting me sound off but breast cancer has devasted my family and I am very passionate about finding a cure.
I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.

I do not know of anyone to write about, and besides, I do my part every time I get on the computer.. I click on the breast cancer site and click on the spot where it helps fund a mammogram. and all I have to do is click... I do that every day...
Sew With Love
