We need those of you who are great at forwarding on
information with your e-mail network. Please read and
pass this on. It would be wonderful if   2005  were the
year a cure for breast cancer was found!!!!

This is one email you should be glad to pass on.  The
notion that we could raise $35 million by buying a
book of stamps is powerful! As you may be  aware,
the US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund
the Cure"    stamp to help fund breast cancer
research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler
of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a
stand against this disease that affects so many of our
Mothers, Sisters and Friends.

Instead of the normal 37 cents for a stamp, this one
costs 40 cents The additional 3 cents will go to breast
cancer research. A "normal" book costs   $7.40. This
one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the
Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are
sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this
vital research. Just as important as the money is our
support.  What a statement it would make if the stamp
outsold  the lottery this week. What a statement it
would make that we care.
I urge you to do two things TODAY:
1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps
2. E-mail your friends to do the same.

Many of us know women and their families whose
lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer.
It takes so little to do so much in this drive.
We can all afford the $0.60. Please help & pass it on.
