I am a part time mammograher, as well as a consultant. Tonight I came up with a great idea for every director to do at their October Cluster meeting. Please pass this idea on to all the direcors that you know. I was reading a thread someone had posted about Breast Cancer Awareness and the Susan B. Komen Foundation. This year the Susan B. Komen foundation is doing a fund raiser called Passionatley about Pink the whole month of October. What you do is set up a team, which can be your cluster or your job outside of PC (better yet~ do both). Pick one day/meeting and pay $5 and wear pink that day! All the money goes to research, helping uninsured get mammograms, etc. I do mammograms everyday, I see lots of women get diagnosed with breast cancer and I hear many stories about how my patients have been affected in someway or another with breast cancer. I just emailed my director to if we could do this at our meeting in October. I also do this every year at the clinic I work at. Everyone can do this. Go to your supervisor and get their okay. The web site is www.komen.org Just think how much money could be raised. If pink isn't your color, there is also Lee Demin Day, that is the same concept but you wear denim. Otherwise make up your own day, and donate the money to your local American Cancer Society. Everyone who reads this will someday be affected by Breast Cancer, it may be your best friend, your mom, your sister, or maybe even you!!! I would love to hear back from anyone who does this. I just did a mammogram last month that a 37 year old was diagnosed. I cried because she had a daughter at home the same age as my son (5). Please check it out!!! Also, make sure you have your mammogram and do a Breast Self Exam every month!!! Thanks for listening~ Now go sign up. Katie
