Shameless Solicitation

One woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes. This year approximately 216,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

These are scary statistics in and of themselves, but become more real when you know someone with breast cancer. All of the things that make us different don’t mean much when we are faced with a common enemy like cancer. I have had cancer in my family. I have had breast cancer in my family. It has struck those close to me. It has struck those close to my wife. It is very real to us.

Beginning on August 20 in the Detroit Area, my wife will be participating in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. In three days, these dedicated participants will walk 60 miles in the hopes of raising funds for breast cancer research. I call on you, dear members of the Ludicrosity.com family, to help us raise funds for her walk. Please click the link below to make a donation in the name of April Missias (my wife) to The Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation. Any support you can give would be helpful. Thank you all!
