Thumbs up

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink button in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Mike thanks for posting that. If I can help with a single mouse click, I'm clicking
There are too many women in this world who mean a great deal to us to not help them in early detection and possible stopping of a terrible disease.

I clicked too.

What an easy way to help a good cause and maybe help someone get into treatment early for a terrible disease.

Thanks, after losing my first wife to breast cancer at the young age of 34, I try to help out where I can.

Thanks, Mike!
Done and did

FWIW I double checked with Snopes and it is 100% legit.
Every 48,000 clicks provides one mammogram.
