    3. Last Year I purchsed Breast Cancer Awareness Stamps for all my Christmas Cards. I cannot tell you the satisfaction I had in doing this. Please consider purchasing them this year for yours. You will feel GREAT knowing you did your part in helping others. Sincerely, Nancy Langdon Webb Western New York The notion that we could raise $16 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful! As you may be aware, the US Postal Service is presently selling a "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that kills and maims so many of our mothers, sisters, friends. Instead of the normal $.33 for a stamp, this one costs $.40. The additional $.07 will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $6.60. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $16,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp out sold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care. I urge each of you to do two things TODAY: 1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps. 2. E-mail your friends to do the same. Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in this drive. Please help! Thank YOU
