The Cancer site's corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. Their funding goes to the nonprofit National Breast Cancer Foundation, who uses it to grant access to mammography to women in need. Currently, The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.

Just this morning, I was thinking about one of my best friends who lost her life to breast cancer and left behind a two year-old daughter. Today, her daughter, Jennifer, is sixteen. My friend's husband still has not remarried. In my closet is a white dress that my friend wore when she was pregnant. One day I will give it to Jenny along with a few of her mother's purple clothes.

My friend's death had significant influence over my serving the biotech industry for the last eighteen years.

The loss of this great woman has also influenced my focus today to inspire others to lead healthy, adventuresome, soulful lives.

For the friends we have lost and for their sons and daughters who today have no mother, I thank you for taking this brief moment out of your hectic day to click on the link below:

It costs nothing to help make early detection and survival possible. You can click once per day to make a difference.

Upon entering their site, please click on "donating a mammogram" for free. (It is the pink window in the middle of the page.)

Thank you!
