Breast Cancer Stamp Booklet Dear Sisters, We need those
of you who are great at forwarding on information with your
e-mail network. Please read and pass this on. It would be
wonderful if 2004 were the year a cure for breast cancer
was found!

This is one email you should be glad to pass on. The notion that
we could raise $35 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful!
As you may be aware, the US Postal Service has released a "Fund
the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp
was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that affects so many of
our Mothers, Sisters and Friends.

Instead of the normal 37 cents for a stamp, this one costs 40
cents. The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research.
A "normal" book costs $7..40. This one is only $8.0! 0. It takes
a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this
vital research. Just as important as the money, is our support.
What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold the lottery
this week. What a statement it would make that we care.

I urge you to do two things TODAY:

1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.

2. E-mail your friends to do the same.

Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in
this drive. We can all afford the $0.60. Please help & pass it on.
Sending thanks and hoping you have a great day!
 
I often use these, Kallison, as well as the 9/11 ones. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for posting this, Kallison.
I'm passing it along via my e-mail.

Hugs, Marilyn
 
Just a note to add that the stamp IS worth 37 cents, but now costs 45 cents.
 

Thanks, Kallison, for the info. I didn't know about these stamps. I am battling breast cancer and had a radical mastectomy just yesterday.

My DH is going to the Post Office tomorrow and I will definitely ask him to get these stamps.

I'll pass along the info to others too.

thanks for letting us know
Having a brother who has had both breast cancer and heart disease I hope a cure is found for both.
