Some people just can’t have fun without making it about something. The whole breast cancer thing was an add-on and I wish people would get over it.

If I would have slowed down just a bit before I played along with the FB game, maybe I would have thought about how painful it was for you and many others.

I, like many others, assumed that anything we could do–silly or not–to raise awareness of the issue would help. But I see what you’re saying here. It’s more than awareness that needs to be raised. We all know about the issue of breast cancer–how could we not?

It’s money. It’s pressure for lawmakers. It’s everything and anything we can do to find a CURE and put an end to this disease.
