Because we need to find a cure...


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Its not a bargain or a discount, but for those of you that may be in the market for a car, remember the Ford motor company has raised over 85 millions dollars for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in their 12 year partnership. Breast cancer kills over 40,000 women every year in the U.S. alone. As someone who has had 3 women in her family and 1 friend suffer from this insidious monster, I urge all women to perform monthly self-exams and to get yourself a mammogram every year starting at the age of 40. Remember, you don't have to have a family history, over 90% of breast cancer cases have no family history whatsoever.
