A Cause or A Charity

Your Momma never told you...to do what you can to support a cause or a charity.

Ladies...when I turned 35 I had to start getting mammograms because my mother had several battles with breast cancer. Sadly, she had two masectomies during her lifetime. She had a great attitude and never let it the fact she had the two surgeries affect her. She was a great example of perserverence and doing what you have to do each day as a mother and a wife.

After experiencing my first mammogram...I realize two things:

1. A man must have made the mammogram machine because no woman would come up with the idea to smash your breast flatter than a pancake...and then take a picture.

2. A cure for cancer would have been found years ago....if a man's penis was put in a machine and smashed. It would never happen. Just like Viagra...they would have found a cure.

After a few years of suffering through these barbaric procedures...I contacted my niece and told her we have to do something to fight breast cancer. These machines are ridiculous....It is up to us to do our part.

We formed a team called Team Green Light and began to raise money for the Global Race For the Cure...to fight against breast cancer. We did this in honor of my mother...her grandmother...and all the women that have suffered from this disease. Our little team of 3 that initially raised $125 has grown to a team 20 over the years. This year we raised over $7500.00.

Ladies...do your part. Find a cause or charity that interest you and start to do what you can to help. Whether it is fundraising...or volunteering...get involved. You will meet a lot of fun and interesting people and you will be surprised what you can do to help.
