Breast Cancer is closely linked with Ovarian Cancer. It would help if more women (and men) could afford to pay for genetic screenings without fear of being ostracized by Big Brother (managed care companies.) In taking Breast Cancer seriously, it might help if we all dump the word "boobs" when reffering to them, from our vocab.

I'm there! Fashion show starts at 9 PM as well as fire dancers, spoken word poets, female DJs and lots of beautiful women wearing pink for a good cause...all tonight...Thursday, September 27, 2007. Does it get any better than that? I don't think so.

A great story and a great cause. I do the Revlon Run Walk every year here in LA in support of women't breast cancer. I've been doing it ever since my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 9 years ago. Thanks for the article.
