Munted for the Cure

I'm walking at the 2009 Susan G Komen Race for the Cure again. Thoughts of my aunt will be heavily on my mind. It blows my mind about her courage and how she lasted 7 years of above average quality of life from her stage 4 breast cancer. It was only until it spread to her brain that her last 2 months of life was a personal hell. Extending survival time AND quality of life is what I want to raise money for. Survival ain't nothing without quality of life, period. I don't think there is anyone out there anymore that doesn't know a family member or friend that has cancer.

If you can't run, walk, please help us raise money for a possible light at the end of the tunnel. I'm putting up a banner on the right hand side which will link your to my Race For The Cure page. Also, 20% of MUNTEDKOWHAI sales from 20th of August to 20th of September will be donated to the Race For The Cure program.

Please take time out of your day and donate, I really appreciate it:

My auntie survived five years after a stage 4 diagnosis. She ended up dying from liver failure just as the experimental treatment was working on the cancer. Life isn't fair sometimes. I think it's amazing that you are doing this!
