Could not resist this. How many little girls do you see and think "I hope they never have to go through what I have with this d*mn disease"?
My trip to the local Safeway was an eye opener this afternoon. I know they are having a big barbeque cookoff on Sat to raise money for Komen.
The young man checking my line, was enthusiastically wheedling a donation from everyone in front of me. When he processed a donation he would ring a bell and give a hooray. He told me that last year in the month of October they raised a bit over $30,000 for breast cancer research. Of course they are trying to top that this year. Break it out - that is ONE THOUSAND dollars a day!
Some generous neighbors I have!
