I will be participating again this year at the annual Susan G. Komen race for the cure on Saturday, June 1st (in Connecticut).

I have been in remission for a year and a half now :drinker: . When I was first diagnosed, I was angry, scared, and shocked, even though I knew I was at high risk due to my family history. Ensuring that we are properly educated and given the kind of treatment we need to survive is very important. Early detection is key! What I like about Susan G. Komen is that all the money raised supports research and local breast cancer education, screening, and treatment programs for women in Connecticut. This is very significant as Connecticut has the 2nd highest incidence of breast cancer in the U.S.

Donations in any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! :smile:

    14. No Advertising, Self-Promotion, or Fund-Raising

    a) You may not post any links or mentions of other services, websites, or businesses from which you or an associate might benefit financially or otherwise. You also may not solicit off-Forum contact from which you might benefit, e.g. "message me for more info", “I can get you free samples”, etc.
    b) Requests or solicitations for donations are also not allowed. This includes requesting contributions to “pooled fund” competitions, requests for votes in any venue (online contests, etc.), and even requests for charitable contributions. As you can imagine, we have a lot of people who would like to raise money for worthy causes through the site. As much as we'd like to support these causes, if we were to allow requests for donations, the forums would quickly become full of such requests which would take away from the main purpose of the forums - to support one another.
    c) Posts or messages to members promoting websites that compete with MyFitnessPal are also prohibited.
