Stepping up to "STAMP OUT" BREAST CANCER....    Unless you're living under a rock-you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But did you know...The Breast Cancer Research Stamp was the idea of Ernie Bodai, MD, a breast surgeon.^[2] Dr. Bodai is a Kaiser Permanente surgeon who performs lumpectomies and mastectomies on women with breast cancer. Betsy Mullen is a breast cancer survivor and advocate, the Founder of WIN Against Breast Cancer and the Breast Buddy Breast Care Program. Dr. Bodai, Betsy Mullen and David Goodman spent their money and time lobbying for Congress' approval of the Breast Cancer Research Stamp. Dr. Bodai later began a nonprofit organization, Cure Breast Cancer Inc., to raise money to bring attention to the BCR Stamp and the breast cancer cause.Congress passed "The Stamp Out Breast Cancer Act of 1997" and the BCR Stamp was first issued on July 29, 1998, becoming the country’s first fundraising stamp.

Even at the extra 11 cents for the stamp nearly 80-million dollars has been raised so far. That said..if you've experienced the pain..or loss of the horrible disease you know it's NOT ENOUGH!!! I know we are all addicted to the "immediacy" of Social Media..BUT PLEASE...take time to SHARE SOME LOVE this month with the USPS...mail something!!!!
