Breast Cancer Site

I know, you get this email every once in a while that tells you that the Breast Cancer Site and click on the “Free Mammogram” button to help fund free mammograms. Half the time, I don’t do it, either because I’m lazy or I’m tired of getting the email.

According to Snopes, my favorite resource for debunking spam: Unlike the way things are explained in the e-mail, one click does not magically provide a mammogram to a needy woman — it takes 45,000 clicks, not just one. Averaging 58,000 clicks a day, The Breast Cancer Site provides funding for approximately 1.3 mammograms a day. Visitors are also not prohibited from clicking more than once; they just can’t do so more than once a day.

Today I clicked. If you click this week and you post a note in my comments letting me know that you clicked, I’ll send you a pink wristband. Yeah, they’re left over from my 3-Day Walk, but you’ll get one for free, and you can have a warm fuzzy that you helped to fund a mammogram, or at least part of one.

One lucky person, chosen at random from the comments, will receive a special prize of my choosing.

I have about 15 bands left, so get clicking!

(P.S. Don’t put your mailing address in the comments, just make sure that you fill in the email part of the contact info, and I’ll be in touch shortly for more information)
