Don't wanna be all preachy and stuff, but it's a cause that's close to me, so I hope you'll all allow me a moment to mention this:

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I lost my wonderful sister-in-law to breast cancer three years ago at far too young an age. Here's hoping stories like that become fewer and fewer until they're gone altogether.

Ladies: Get yourselves checked out. Guys: Encourage the women in your life who are important to you do get checked.

"Squish a boob...save a life."

Have a great Friday night, everyone. :)

    A worthy cause that affects us all, in one way or another. Please support your local cancer fund raisers.

    Ladies .. Please Please Please .. get yourself checked ... Regularily.

    Same for the gents .. Early detection is the secret to success!
