One in Eight women in America will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. What this means is that approximately 12% or one in eight women who live to age 85 will be diagnosed with breast cancer sometime during her lifetime.
Our tennis league did a Play for the Cure event today - wear pink, play hard, give green. It was fun to get out there and play in honor of all those we have lost to breast cancer and for those we know fighting it. It was touching to hear everyone's stories of how breast cancer has affected their lives. There was no one there that didn't have a family member or friend that has suffered from breast cancer. I was proud to be part of such a wonderful group of ladies. We raised a ton of money for a foundation in Houston called The Rose, that gives out low-cost and/or free mammograms to women who cannot afford them. Check out this wonderful organization.....consider making a donation and help save lives!
