Subject: Stamp out Breast Cancer

We need those of you who are great at forwarding on info with your email network. Please read and pass on.

Peace and good health! It would be wonderful if 2000 were the year a cure for breast cancer was found! This is one note you'll gladly pass on.

The notion that $16 million could be raised by buying a book of stamps is powerful!

As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Bessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that everyone take a stand against this disease that kills and maims so many of our mothers, sisters, and friends. Instead of the normal $. 33 for a stamp, this one costs $. 40. The additional $. 07 will go to breast cancer research.

A "normal" book costs $6.60. This one is only $8.00. 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 $16,000,000 for this vital research.

Just as important as our money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp out sold the l*ttery this week. What a statement it would make that we care.

Here are two things we can each do 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.  Please help! Thank YOU!
