Hey I sent this in to my local paper and they decided to print it so I figured since they thought it was good I would share it here too, b/c ppl can never do too much! Enjoy.

Breast Cancer doesn’t discriminate so think pink!

Men can and do get breast cancer, that is why exams are so important.
I know they are uncomfortable and not the highlight of anybody’s day, but it's better than the alternative!

Technology is advancing at a much accelerated rate. We can find a cure in our life times. Wouldn't it be awesome to raise enough funds so that our children or grandchildren don't have to worry about Breast Cancer!

Though out Stores, Markets, Magazines and the internet choosing items that have a pink ribbon on them can help save lives!
When I go to the store I buy pink! From my dish gloves to my soup cans. Not just because I love the color but because I choose items with the pink ribbon on it. Almost everything you need to buy in your daily lives comes with the option to support Breast Cancer research.

People think that stores raise the prices of items with the pink ribbon to boost profits; but I have found that prices are BARELY higher and most often the store donates a percentage of the cost of the item, not a specified dollar amount.

If it's important to you, and it should be because we are all at risk, then realize the power of pink.

Please get screened and consider next time you are in the market or mall and you are looking for something you need, THINK PINK!!!
