This cause I believe is more important to me now more than ever. I just lost my mother to breast cancer this year. She had been battling this fight for 3 years. I pray they find a cure soon. This not only destroys lives but also takes a great impact on those who are still fighting it everyday. I pray for all those who are dealing with this and I pray we find a cure very soon. A CURE MUST BE FOUND.
