And you are welcome. You are lucky I married Brendan so you two could meet.

Getting political…

just for a moment – I am my grandmother’s granddaughter.

Breast cancer affects all women – no matter of race, income, religion and most importantly political beliefs.  Therefore, I believe, that cancer screenings should be above it all – equal access no matter of race, income, religion and political beliefs.  We should be working to make screenings available through ANY method – mobile mammogram vans, hospitals and clinics – even Planned Parenthood.  Non-profits raising money to help find a cure and increase survivorship – should do only that and not be involved in other social debates going on in the country.

An interesting read here – non profits should be non profits and not a corporation.  And this is why my money will be going to organizations like Stupid Cancer or I had Cancer – not just because of Susan G. Komen’s recent acts but because a) cancer is stupid and b) I did have cancer.

Ok – getting off the soapbox.
