Thank you to everyone who posted in the Marathon #1 and #2 Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness threads to reach the goal of 100 pages.

Ziva and Halle encouraged CSers to keep the thread going and even with their butts hurting from lack of blood flow and sitting so long at the computer, they did the job. thumbs up

For those who don't know, my daughter Patty had a girlfriend who died from breast cancer this past February at the age of 40. She struggled for nine years with the disease and finally lost the battle. I have to tell you, as Patty's mother, it broke my heart to see her so sad.

So Avon has put on a 39 mile walk in New York City on October 10th and 11th to raise money for breast cancer research. There are about 30,000 participants in the walk. Everyone reached their dollar goal and now all they need to do is walk the 39 miles. They will sleep in sleeping bags Saturday night and get up Sunday and do it again. Let's hope it doesn't rain.

Needless to say, I am particularly proud of Patty for taking on such a task. She is wearing a pink shirt with her girlfriend's picture enlarged on the back of the shirt.

Tears will flow and spirits will rise when each person reaches the goal line.

Patty and I are appreciative of your support in doing these threads and hope that not one woman on here, or any woman you know will ever experience the horror of breast cancer disease.

My best to everyone hug

It is a great thing to bring awareness to this affiction and thought I would add this as well.....Male breast cancer is real and can be just as dangerous as breast cancer in women. It is expected that over 1,000 men will be diagnosed with male breast cancer each year. Because men often wait to report the symptoms of male breast cancer, the disease is more likely to have spread, leaving many men with less hope that treatment will lead to recovery.......Please do not wait to see your Doctor if you think something is wrong.....wave

To all those who have had cancer come into their lives through any form, I tip my hat to you,tip hat at the very least, for your endurance, compassion, heartache, defeat and victories. What makes someone be able to bear what they go through in life? The support of their family, friends, and yes, even strangers. Not everyone has a compassionate heart for humanity. But a sincere thank you to those that do and continue to share it.

Cancer is a monster that needs to be stamped out. I remember pre-cancer triapsing into my life. I was so blessed to have good doctors and great kids, and divine intervention I am sure. I never fail to donate or volunteer. Way before I even had it.heart wings heart wings heart wings heart wings heart wings
