Join the Sister Study

This October, in addition to boycotting products and companies that exploit women with breast cancer, do something positive to help: Join the Sister Study. (And sign your sister up too.)

From the Sister Study Web site:
The Sister Study is the only long-term study of women aged 35 to 74 whose sister had breast cancer. It is a national study to learn how environment and genes affect the chances of getting breast cancer. In the next three years, 50,000 women whose sister had breast cancer, and who do not have breast cancer themselves will be asked to join the study.

Note that the study will be looking at environmental factors--something that is sorely needed.

THANK YOU JEANNE. I just sent the link to my FIVE sisters! and I'm certain that they will sign up!

Jacqueline--that is so cool! I'm sure the folks at the study would love to have six sisters in one family.

I will call you soon. We need to catch up. (I'm behind on all fronts right now, not just with my friends.)
