Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

Just a quick blog for today. I'm using my time to put out a plug for the local Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, which I will be participating in this October. Since the walk last year, I have personally had two friends diagnosed with breast cancer, both in their early 40's. One friend had a double mastectomy and is currently undergoing preventative treatment, the other has just begun her battle with radiation and chemo. It's striking just how common this cancer is. But there is much research and much we can do to help. If you have even 5 extra dollars, consider donating by clicking the link above. It could be you, your friend, your sister or mother or even you who is on the front lines some day.

(The link is the title. Click and it should take you to my page. Click the donate link, and the rest is pretty self explanatory!)
