I have a favor to ask please. The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota for donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes only a sec to pop over to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" [window in the middle]. Truly! ----- doesn't cost you a thing.
