BREAST CANCER STAMP
It would be wonderful if 2003 were the year a cure for
breast cancer was found!!!! 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 kills and maims so many of our mothers,
sisters, friends.
Instead of the normal $0.37 for a stamp, this one costs
$0.40. The additional $0.03 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
(or you can now
order online) 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.
