Emily is making a difference - help her out!

Do me a favor and check out Emily's blog, please and thank you.

We go to church together and she is so incredibly funny and deserves tons of readers anyways but the real reason I'm sending you over there today is because of her post about making a differenceBlogHer and KFC have teamed up in order to make a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation and for every comment she gets on her post about what people are doing to help make a difference, they will donate a dollar to the cause.

Her aunt has breast cancer and is fighting to be a survivor. How amazing are people that survive? And how amazing is it that in such a short period of time, technology and research have come so far to help them?!

My dad's mom died from having breast cancer when he was in elementary school (in the 60's) and I wonder how much easier it would have been for her to fight and possibly beat the cancer if they knew then what we know now (more on that whole situation to come later). It's all because people haved worked hard (and donated a lot) to help make it easier.

Also, since I've been working on OU's Cancer Institute, I am fascinated by what I have had to learn about modern medicine. Do you even have a clue how fascinating cancer treatment is?!

Really, go read her post and leave a comment. Oh, and buy a pink bucket of KFC. How hard is that?
