Because

Donate because you’ve had a mammogram

Donate because you haven’t

Donate because you felt a twinge, deep in your breast and you wondered… could it be?

Donate because you went to your doctor

Donate because you didn’t

Donate because you felt a lump

Donate because you haven’t

Donate because your doctor saw something

Donate because your doctor didn’t

Donate because you waited for the results, your stomach in knots, your skin in stitches

Donate because you got your results

Donate because you fought your results

Donate because you love your breasts

Donate because you love her breasts

Donate because you love his breasts

Donate because you lost someone

Donate because you didn’t

Donate because you don’t want to be one of the 200,000

Donate because you don’t want to be one of the 40,000

Donate because you can

Donate because others can’t.


This year, 200,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer. 40,000 will not survive.

Whatever your impetus, please donate today. I'm only $600 away from my goal of raising $3000 for the Seattle Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. Please, donate.
