Komen foundation to help fight breast cancer. Find out which one you can give to without feeling like you're giving.

I personally don't know anyone that has battled against breast cancer but I have seen the affects that it causes. I have seen women still hopeful, though they struggle. Hopefully one of these days an answer will be provided for both men and women across this world that are still vulnerable to this any form of cancer. Help do your part if you are able to.
