<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmates: "Celiac Sprue Day" shares the same month as "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" and so I appeal to all of my fellow celiacs to recognize this as a time to reach out in the interest of helping others ... $$$ for research are urgently needed to keep the flame of hope alive for a cure for breast cancer. Yes, $$$ are needed for celiac sprue research, too -- but as it has been noted a few times in our recent TCCSSG newsletters, thankfully WE know what we can do to stop the damage that this disease does to our bodies: We must simply stay away from gluten (easier said than done, I know). Please take a few minutes now and send a few dollars to a breast cancer research foundation. I am donating $25.00 in honor of Celiac Sprue Day to the following research institute, where 100% of the donations go toward breast cancer research, specifically to clinical trials being conducted right now at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX, which is one of the largest (if not THE largest), nationally-renowned breast cancer centers in the world: Mammastatin Research Institute 5692 Plymouth Rd Ann Arbor MI 48105 Donations are tax-deductible - This is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cancer research institute. EIN#38-3261098 What better way to honor Celiac Sprue Day (October 28) than to recognize the importance of finding a cure for a disease. After all, that is what we hope others will join us in finding for ourselves! Let's do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Join me on October 28 in giving toward the cause of breast cancer research. And let's do it in the name of Celiac Sprue Day! Thanks, Wendy Washington October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month "Let's keep abreast of things! Donate dollars to research!"
