Dear Friend,
Please take a moment and consider making a donation to my sister. Renee has been walking the Susan G. Komen 3-day For The Cure for several years. Each year she does auctions, pancake breakfasts and many other activities to raise money for her walk.

No donation is to small! Every penny counts and every donation is appreciated!

She Is My Daughter

She is my daughter, she is my child.
She is a baby with the sweetest smile.
She dreams upon my beating breast.
For in my arms she finds her rest.
I live in fear of this curse,
But what could be even worse.
To know I did not fight the fight,
To someday save her from this plight.
What do I tell her as time goes by,
When she ask of me, O’ mother why.
Why does this disease strike me down,
Where is the cure that should be found.
So stand up, walk, run and sing,
Together let our voices ring.
So as one heart, someday we can say.
Daughters, we have won the day.

According to the Susan G. Komen website an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer will occur among women in the United States during 2009. And an estimated 41,170 women will die from breast cancer. Also, about 1,910 men will be diagnosed and 440 men will die of breast cancer during 2009 in the United States. In addition to invasive breast cancer, an estimated 62,280 new cases of in situ breast cancer will occur among women in 2009.

I know several women who are breast cancer survivors. Each of these women have fought hard and continue to survive this horrific dis-ease yet there are many who do not survive. We MUST find a cure for this dis-ease!

Early detection is vitally important to surviving breast cancer. If you do nothing else PLEASE do your monthly breast exams and have your Mammograms.

If you are interested in purchasing breast cancer awareness items here is a good site to do it from. Your support helps fund free mammograms.
