Hi friends,
The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on donating a mammogram for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.

I know many of us have people close to us who have had to deal with cancer, this is a way to help.

Click here... for the website.

Alex,
This is a great thing you did. I copied and pasted your message including the link into an email that I sent to my entire address book. Hopefully many of my friends pass this on to many of theirs, and so on.
It is easy to do, and like you point out, it costs nothing to do it.
Thanks for bringing this site to our attention.
Steve

Let's all set this up on an autoclick script like we did for MarkyD's performance in Atlanta.

This is a great cause. I'm glad to support it. I'm a survivor of prostate cancer, and I have friends and relatives who have made it through breast cancer. However, I must take note of the power of good public relations that the breast cancer people have acquired, when it's heart disease that accounts for more women's deaths than all three of the major women's cancers combined. (I'm also a heart disease survivor, so this is pretty meaningful to me.) We need to continue the research in all of these areas, and women need to stay current in their tests for all of them. Heart disease isn't just a male phenomenon.

Just be carefull how you do it. There's such a thing as "click fraud". Not that I would be worried about getting in trouble so much as these types of companies have software to detect "non-human" click patterns. If they see too many clicks they suspect as fake they can legally declare them invalid. Great cause and idea, just make sure not to overdo it.

They only take one click per day, and you have to actually click the button at the site. I've set my script up to go to the site just once a day, and when I see it pop up I'll do the click myself. I'm working on automating that as well.

I am all for supporting cancer awareness, and to this I may add that my mother is a survivor of breast cancer for over 5 years. However, the lopsided attention that breast cancer gets out of proportion to other cancers kind of sickens me. Let me explain.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer death for women, but it gets all the hoopla because upper middle class women like my poor mom have to get some unpleasant, superficial surgery and radiation, sometimes chemo and get to tell their story. That's all well and good, but it ignores the fact that the MOST COMMON, NUMBER ONE CANCER DEATH for WOMEN (and men too) is LUNG CANCER.

Though you can screen better for breast cancer than lung cancer, 95% of lung cancer cases are completely preventable as it is 95% due to smoking. However, you never get to hear the stories of those women who die of it because they are usually too poor to get much clout and die too quickly after diagnosis (median time of survival after lung cancer is about a year and a half, but it's a very bad, steep declining kind of year and a half). Perhaps it's the tobacco company lobby keeping it quiet. Perhaps it's the fact that lung surgery is the most painful, involves great distress, respiratory problems, all kind of gross, smelly body secretions and having bloody tubes sticking out of your withering chest for weeks while you make gross breathing noises instead of a small, superficial incision. It's not as sexy as "breast cancer", but it's sure a lot deadlier and more preventable. Yet we hardly talk about lung cancer!

Again, I don't want to minimize the suffering that breast cancer causes or how important mammography is in helping lower the death rate thereof, but I think there is another, far deadlier elephant in the room about which no one so much as bats an eyebrow.

Not to take away anything from this cause, but a couple of things come to mind, first of all Nuvolari is right, Lung cancer will kill more people this year than breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, and melanoma...combined!!! My wife is a nurse in a cancer clinic where she gives chemotherapy to many people a day, and she as well as my twin daughters walk in the 5k breast cancer walk here in Denver every year so I and my family do support this cause, but now let me draw your attention to the other links at the top of that page, most importantly the hunger site. Hunger kills many times over again what all cancer does per year. Over 20,000 people a day die of hunger, mostly children. A single click a day is all any of these sites will acknowledge so multiple clicks may not be worth your time, but a click on the hunger site will put over a cup of food on some ones plate today. I've had a link to that page on my own webpage and even use it as my home page sometimes, I think it's a really great part of the internet, so spread the word.

Also look at their merchandise, additional money is sent to these causes with every purchase, it really is a great place for gift shopping. Anyway just wanted to point that out.
