Breast Cancer Stamps
Just wanted to spread the word: The US Postal Service is selling postage stamps entitled "Fund The Cure." These stamps sell for 40 cents each, 6 cents more than a regular stamp. These stamps were designed by a lady named Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, MD. The extra 6 cents from each stamp sold will go to fund cancer research. A regular book of stamps cost $6.80. A book of breast cancer stamps is $8.00. Just $1.20 more. If all the available stamps are sold, it will raise $16,000,000. A lot of us have lost mothers, sisters, and even daughters to this terrible illness. If you're interested, please pass on this info to people you know. Thanks!

Thanks
I will be sure and by some stamps. A dear friend of mine had a double masectomy last spring. She is doing well. But this just gets too many of us.
FYI-my friend only got ONE night in the hospital as is standard for masectomy. I think this is barbaric. If any of you would like to sign a petition to change this the link is provided below.
Thanks!

This is wonderful Miss Kathy!
Thank you for posting it. I am in Canada and am going to call tomorrow to see if the Canadian Postal Service is doing anything like this as well!! Our stamps are 48 cents each, but I would gladly pay more if the difference was going to a great cause like this. Its a wonderful cause, and nice to see the Post office getting involved this way!!
Hugs
Maria
