Re: Two beloved voices silenced

All that you say in the posts above has educated me. I am part of the general public that rushes through the pink stuff without digging deeper into where those funds go. I too, did the Komen Race in Lubbock, TX with my family just after my mastectomy. Lots of pink survivor shirts, but I really had no idea what else was going on. I think most people need to feel that they are doing something, and maybe Komen and pinkness is good for that. Because of my diagnosis, I have educated myself by reading your posts, following your links, and reading your stories. Rachel and Susan made me question what I thought was the right thing to do, and I am grateful and will spread the word.
