Please share your stories. Like many of you to me this is a very serious and personal issue.

I personally do not have any survival story however four of my close family members have suffered from breast cancer.  Luckily they caught the cancer in time!!! 
 
It made me think differently about life.  Their courage and will to live inspired me.  Watching them go through that horrible experience makes me appreciate life and ignore the small stuff.  Many people are suffering from the economic downfall and believe it’s the end of the world… It could be much worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
There are many precautions women should partake in:
 
Get:
Genetic testing if breast cancer runs in your family
Yearly MRI”s
Yearly Mammograms
Sonograms
Dr. Check ups
Self examination

Do you believe that food packaging, pesticide and chemical infested food have anything to do with the rising statistics of cancer and other diseases???? Please share your thoughts

Most of us have many stories of breast and other cancers effecting us or loved ones. I know I have discussed this on here before. My Wifes aunt years ago was diagnosed and considered cured of breast cancer and went years without a problem. Until 2008 when we found out it had mastisized and was all through her. Very quickly my team and I decided to try and make a difference by pulling cars which went well as far as training goes. Well to make a long storie short she was able to come watch us pull in November and we lost her between Christmas and the New Year. As of yet we have not been able to set up an event due to lack of knowledge how.
  Furthermore Cancer in general is such a depressing subject and my next story is very sad. A very close friend of mine’s daughter (who is now just 17)last year was diagnosed with lymphoma and has not responded well to treatment. They are now in the experimental phase trying to get her under control. And I Pray everyday that something works. I cannot even imagine the fear her and her parents are experiencing and god forbid I ever have to. But my heart goes out to everyone who has had to deal with any of this it breaks my heart to think of the feeling of helplessness they must feel. Mark if you read read this you know who you are and I wish you and your family the best in every effort and will support you in anyway I can.
   Thanks and please write your support for all people dealing with this lets start something and see it through.
