Current Goal

This coin's mission is to raise breast cancer awareness. I personally feel that not enough attention is paid to women under the age of 40. The numbers are actually quite alarming of women who are diagnosed with this cancer in their 20's and 30's. Our "Aunt Camping" is one such person. She was diagnosed 1 month after her 35th birthday. Thankfully, she is a SURVIVOR! She has been cancer-free for almost 29 years now.

Encourage your friends and loved ones to get their check-ups, do monthly breast exams, and keep informed!

Note (6/16/07): Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who is moving this coin along. I'm pleased when someone mentions it is in honor of someone who is a survivor. God Bless!

    OCCS Outdoor Adventure Club was so kind as to send the coin back to us. I can't say too much here in case she reads the coin logs... but I know Aunt Camping will be very pleased. Thanks a million for moving this along... and thanks to CB from OCCS for sending it back to WA.

    The coin is now in the hands of CpaLovesCache and Tacoboy in Iowa who will take care of it and move it on soon. It may be a little while before they have a chance as when we left there today it was -12F, windy, with snow cover.

    Sorry, but I have a sad story for you. My sister in law missed her age 40 mammogram because she was pregnant. She had a very difficult pregnancy and went into labor a couple weeks early. Her son was small, but healthy, and spent a week in an ICU. She did the same in a different ICU, and had all kinds of problems including confusion. After a lot of tests, they finally determined she had breast cancer which had alredy reached her bones and liver. She fought two years before losing her battle. So yes, take this seriously and do whatever you can to avoid this disease!
