More attention needs to be devoted to Breast Cancer Awareness! It seems as if everyone knows somebody that it has affected and the odds are growing every year. I lost my mother-in-law to breast cancer and a cousin was recently diagnosed. I signed it as well and have pased it to many of my friends.
Thanks Heather!!!
