Redskins and Breast Cancer Spam

[jamf]

You Gentlemen are both correct in my opinion.

I understand where CRT3 is coming from. It annoys me the RIAA and other businesses are spending millions on prosecuting people that download illegal material but when was the last time you heard a private organization do anything about the trade of childporn on the net or any other form of exploitation?


but i also agree with SSB. One of the reasons you hear alot about breast cancer is its one of the few forms of cancer(or any major illness) that you can test for at home. the better educated a women (or fortunate man) is on breast cancer, the better the chances of catching it early. if you catch it early, you have a good shot of beating it.
breast cancer is no worse than lung or colon cancer, but you cant give yourself a colon exam(but hey if you would like to try...) or a lung exam. Being in Sunny San Diego, we hear alot about detection of skin cancer. which is another form of cancer that we should be aware of and how to spot it.

like matty says, awareness is the key.

I agree with you both Matty and jam, very well put. I personally would like the Skins to focus on all cancers when addressing this. It is interesting to note that one of the 40 Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the Country is named after one of the most legendary coaches, Lombardi, and is located in DC. The Redskins have very little involvment down there and should step up to the plate and be more activly involved with a Center that plays homage to the Coaches illness.

The Redskins currently only are active with Lombardi in the YArds for Youth program which is a charity that is used based on the on field success. You donate to the program based on the charity you pick(You have a choice of about 30 or so) and Lombardi is one of the 30 you have to choose from.

Awarness is the key and while the pink thing brings about awarenss I would love to see other programs about all kinds of illnesses thru the year.
