Keeping You Abreast
October is almost upon us. In addition to being the month the Good Lord chose to deliver me to this spinning ball of mud, it is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Given that I have had such a boobtacular year, with Mark Steyn mentioning my ta-tas almost daily for weeks - including on the Rugh Limbaugh Show - I thought I ought to give a little something back.
Each day in the month of October, I will highlight a different product or service that will assist in breast cancer research. It might be a donation you can make directly, or a product you can buy that gives something back to one of the research foundations.
Some of those foundations I’ll be highlighting include:
Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF)
National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF)
As each person is different, you may have a particular foundation you prefer to align yourself with - or one you would prefer not to. Each day my feature will tell you who receives the money, and how much. It’s up to you to make a choice.
For all my female readers, I hope you’ll care for yourself and do regular breast exams. In addition, schedule a mamogram. It’s difficult for those in socialized countries to book mamograms if we are under the “risk” age, but if you have any reason to suspect you may be at risk for breast cancer, be your own advocate and demand one. Don’t let some bean counter put your life in danger.
“Foundation”! Heh.

RightGirl, my wife’s doctor told her that it was time for a Mamawgram about 4 years ago. So, she called the boobsmasher place on a Monday afternoon. She went in on Wednesday morning for the punkin’ smashing.
No problems…but I truly do appreciate you highlighting how long it takes in Canada to have the lovely experience. A day and a half in Louisiana! The bill was $185, including the other guy that had to read the mammogram. But “cash,” it was $120. Just F.Y.I., and for your readers.
BTW, I heard Mark obsessing over it all. I think he’s smitten.

Thanks for highlighting a great cause. I lost my wife of 40 years to breast cancer 10 years ago on the 22nd of Oct.
Every tear I send the Cancer society $100 on the anniversary of her passing. This year I will tack on an extra $50 on your behalf. Thanks for supporting a good cause.
