    Wow Lynette....How COOL! If I were closer I'd be there! Kansas is too cold thistime of year and this is such an important cause, as we all know. Take some steps for me!!!!

      Sadly I can't be part of the walk-a-thon as I will just have had my surgery a few days prior - so I'm getting the word out to as many people as I possibly can!

        Wish we had something like that in Aus. Then we would probably have enough money for a better detection programme. At present, we have a National Self Detection programme, however, judging by some mums comments, it obviously doesn't work!
