Breast Cancer Awareness

A $.60 Cure for Breast Cancer

As most of you know by now, The Wellness Evolution Project is committed to the vision of global health and wellness. That's a big vision -- and to make our vision a reality will take many contributors. But we believe that collaborative effort has power -- "the power of WE."

Today I received an email from one of our community -- basically an invitation to combine our efforts to combat a deadly disease. Won't you take a moment to read this message... and pass it on.

From Floyd Foncannon (lisalbf1@mindspring.com) "We need those of you who are great at forwarding on information with your e-mail network. Please read and pass this on. It would be wonderful if 2004 were the year a cure for breast cancer was found!!!!

"This is one email you should be glad to pass on. The notion that we could raise $35 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful! As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that affects so many of our Mothers, Sisters and Friends. "Instead of the normal 37 cents for a stamp, this one costs 40 cents The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $7.40. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the money is our support.

"What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care.

"I urge you to do two things TODAY:

1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.

2. E-mail your friends to do the same. Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in this drive. We can all afford the $0.60. Please help & pass it on."
