[...] Since it was my original pitch, I’ll make a second pitch. I’ll be running a 5k on Mother’s Day 2009 to raise funds for Susan Komen. Help a taxgirl out and support Team Joye in memory of my grandmother, Aline Joye. [...]

Oxnate,
I tell my kids the same thing about soda. I drink far too much Diet Coke and am, in fact, 5′2″ so I tell them soda stunts your growth.
I have not, however, told them that Uncle Rob used to drink like 2 liters of Sundrop a day - he’s 6′.

Oh TaxGirl! What a lovely post & memory of your grandmother. My own grandmother died of lymphoma after a long battle with breast cancer, and my mother passed last year after a 12 year battle with Alzheimers. I think of them both EVERY day & it’s the sweet memories like you’ve shared above that make me smile (my mom always drank her beloved coffee with cream - as do I). Thanks for offering to make a donation to Susan G Komen, your grandmother would be proud of you I’m sure! Cheers, @Jasperblu

I will take this opportunity to recommend http://www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org This website helps people to understand the companies that are using the pink ribbon and breast cancer awareness in order to boost sales and get goodwill. Currently they have a campaign going to encourage people to write Yoplait. Yoplait sends money to the Susan G. Koman foundation when a purchaser sends in a pink lid. Unfortunately, Yoplait uses milk form rBGH injected cows for its yogurt which has been identified as a cause of breast cancer. The site helps guide us when making purchases that are supposedly made to help breast cancer research.

All the money for Aids, when cancer kills so many more. Paul Newman just last week.

I have 5 adult women in my family (Mom, Mom-in-law, and 3 sister-in-laws). 3 of the 5 are breast cancer survivors. It seems to be everywhere. A cure needs to be found.
