Okay, so the whole charity name is Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The name change is to show their commitment to fighting breast cancer. Okay. I can understand the need for new energy. Just last week I watched a CNN program on how cancer research hasn’t progressed very much. Oh sure, we’re learning all the different ways cancer can crop up. It seems like everything these days “causes cancer.” But, we’re not researching the hot ticket – the real reason why people die from cancer. According to Lance Armstrong we need to focus more on why and how a cancer spreads – metastasizes. If that’s where Komen for the Cure is headed then good for them.
In this particular packet they sent me a membership card. I’m not sure how to take that. It’s not like a diner’s card that gets me special privileges. Card carrying for cancer – what a concept.
ps~ I met a man who says his wife works for the “other” breast cancer foundation and I shouldn’t mention Komen in her presence. Has the work gone mad? Shouldn’t they be working towards the same thing instead of against each other? Well, I guess that’s corporate America for you – we compete even when it comes to cures for cancer.

Maybe the competiton will bring about a cure faster. If so, I encourage the competiton!
i agree with their common goal. it does seem to be a funny thing to be competitive about though.
Funny thing about competition – the way this man described it, it was like his wife despised the other organization, despite their unified goal. It struck me as odd that she would “hate” her “competitor.
maybe its because i can’t think of what the “other” organization is?
