Free Mammograms for Jane.

Posted by: frogpondsrock on Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Jane McGrath died yesterday. Sadly Jane lost her ten year battle with breast cancer and the resultant secondary cancers. The news of this extraordinary woman’s death made me very sad.

Suze from Frippery has written a lovely post about Jane. I just want to ask can you please click the BreastCancerSite.com button please? Two clicks and you will provide a free mammogram for a woman in need. It doesn’t cost you anything but you may help to save a life..

Thanks xxx Kim

So so sad. I cried when I heard, just like when Belinda Emmet passed away.

Just too sad. They were two wonderful women.

Free mammograms are available to all women over the age of 40. Also to younger women if there is a risk or family history. Ask your doctor, ladies. I’ve been having one every two years for about 14 years now.

That is so sad. She leaves a legacy, though. Small comfort to those who lost her, I’m sure. My condolences.

How awful, I clicked… It is so important to catch it early and detection is key.

I clicked too! Worthy cause and bless you. I am glad that much of the stigma and embarrassment about breast cancer is going away. Here’s hoping the same can be done for HIV and other “behaviour” related problems like lung cancer. It’s not “good” to do some of the things that can lead to HIV or lung cancer, but we need to show compassion without judgment on the hurting because “I told you so” is not a merciful attitude. God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you.

Kim, you are an inspiration to me and the loving tone in your posts shines through. Hugs back at ya.

OK, that comment had nothing to do with what you were talking about. Sorry, I am still loopy and on mega-drugs from my surgery. IF I don’t make sense that’s why.

I forgot what I was writing about so I’ll just hit “post” and see if I get angry commenters on my blog. Then I’ll know if i typed something wrong.
