Breast Cancer Stamp

[bfez1]

I am sure everyone of us has known someone affected by breast cancer, be it a spouse, mother, sister, friend or neighbor.

BREAST CANCER STAMP


We need those of you who are great at forwarding on

information with your e-mail network. Please read and pass

this on. It would be wonderful if 2003 were the year a

cure for breast cancer was found!!!! This is one email

you should be glad to pass on. The notion that we could raise

$35 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful!

As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently

released its new "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 affects so

many of our Mothers, Sisters and Friends. Instead of the

normal 37 cents for a stamp, this one costs

40 cents. The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer

research. A "normal" book costs $7.40. 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


$35,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important

as the money is our support. What a statement it

would make if the stamp outsold the lottery this week.

What a statement it would make that we care.



I urge 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. We can all afford the $0.60.

Please help & pass it on.

I have to make a subtle correction about the Breast Cancer Stamp and the pricing.

The normal book of stamps sells for $7.40, which is correct.
The Breast Cancer Stamp and also, the Heroes Stamp (NY Firefighters) both sell for $.45 a piece, and $9.00 a book (of 20)... for each Breast Cancer stamp sold, 8 cents goes to fund breast cancer...yesterday, I had a young lady requested 10 books of Breast Cancer stamps...but unfortunately I only had 5 available ... but she bought those 5 and my 5 heroes stamp books.
