It's breast cancer awareness month. (Thanks for reminding me about that keltique.)

From the Komen site:
An estimated 212,920 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the United States during 2006. An estimated 40,970 women will die from breast cancer. It is estimated that 1,720 men will be diagnosed and 460 men will die of breast cancer during 2006. In addition to invasive breast cancer, 61,980 new cases of in situ breast cancer are expected to occur among women in 2006. Of these, approximately 85 percent will be ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

To put it more bluntly, these are at risk for breast cancer:




Consider doing your part to help fund the research to end this disease. And if you can't afford to donate, consider reminding your friends to take preventative measures to save their boobies. Here is the link for facts on breast cancer risk factors and prevention.

Save the boobies, and while you're at it, save a life. In fact, I challenge you all to pass this message along. Take a gratuitous boobie shot and post it in your own journal with this message. Yes, guys, too. You can get this disease as well, you know. C'mon. I double dog dare ya.

boobies, psa
