For a Good Cause

As many of you know, I am THE WORST when it comes to forwarding emails, even ones for a good cause. Recently however, I received this email; and being a slightly suspicious person when it comes to "press a button and--presto!--money appears!" emails, I researched it. According to snopes.com, it is completely legitimate, and so I thought it worthwhile to put a link here. For what it's worth, an easy way to make a difference...

Here is the text from the email I received:

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. (I don't think this part is quite accurate, but the point is true.) 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. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
