Last week I wrote a blog post about Cancer Vixen and Breast Cancer Awareness month. Did you know that between 1991 and 2000, the percentage of women receiving mammograms rose from 50% to 64%? Did you also know that in 2007 new cases of breast cancer in the United states was estimated to be 178,480 (female); 2,030 (male)? Mammography screening remains the best available method to detect breast cancer early. Let’s hope the percentages of women getting mammograms continues to increase to help the number of breast cancer cases to decrease.

Early detection of breast cancer can be the difference between life and death, but thousands of women lack the means to get a mammogram, while others fail to realize the importance of getting regular mammograms.

If you had the opportunity to donate free mammograms to low-income, inner-city and minority women who lack access to this essential service and have only a limited awareness of breast cancer, you’d do it, right?

I’m glad you said “yes,” because, thanks to The Breast Cancer Site, you can! All you have to do is take a few seconds to go to the site:

With a simple, daily click of the pink “Click Here to Give - it’s FREE” button at The Breast Cancer Site, visitors help to provide free mammograms for women in need. Visitors pay nothing. Mammograms are provided by our charitable partners. Your click is paid for by site sponsors, and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
