National Mammography Day- The third Friday in October of each year is National Mammography Day. On this day, or throughout October, radiologists provide free or discounted screening mammograms. The event is sponsored by the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month organization.



And another great press release with very good information may be found here.

Race for the Cure

The Thon has come to an end. This year, funds raised were less than last year, but over the course of the last 6 years, Boobie-Thon has raised over $40,000 for Breast Cancer Research. Not bad for a grass roots blogger effort.

Thanks to all of you who traveled to the site, enjoyed the photos (and perhaps searched for this Duchess' typist), and for those who donated.

Several of you bemoaned the fact that you missed the donations deadline of October 8, which also means that the uncovered photographs are also closed to you. Well there is always next year for the pictures. But if you should like to contribute, please travel directly to the Susan G. Koman website.




Please IM me with any questions. And thank you yet again for your support of Breast Cancer research and treatment development.

OOC - A few words about Boobie-Thon

This annual event showcases female and male bloggers showing their (covered and uncovered) breasts in order to raise money for charity during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please check back in the upcoming days for more information and news about this years event.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Boobie-Thon will run from October 1, 2007-October 8, 2007. The main page houses covered breasts and is free for all to view. For at least a $50.00 donation one may enter the "pay per boobie" site, which includes the uncovered breasts that many will submit.

I, the typist behind Eva Bellambi, have been a past participant in the event, and will be participating again this year. In fact I have just submitted my photos for posting.

I encourage all of you to donate for this cause, whether by viewing the breasts of those who support this particular event, or by choosing to donate elsewhere. I also want to ensure that we are all reminded to, Feel Your Boobies as the ad campaign says. Perform self breast exams at least once per month, and discuss any changes with your doctor.

Be safe and well!
