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 Kessler of Bethesda ,
Maryland . It is important that we take a stand against this disease
that affects so many of our mothers, sisters and friends. Instead of the routine 37 cents for a stamp, this one cost 40 cents. The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $7.40. 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 $35,000,000 for this vital research. |

Between Us is a product designed by long-term breast cancer survivors to provide immediate comfort for women who have just been diagnosed.

This has since been substantiated by focus groups.
