    Mammogram Awareness Challenge by Bearman Cartoons

    Recently someone close to me was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram.  This is someone with no family history and who is in good shape.  Her message is to all her friends and family is to make sure you are up-to-date on your mammograms.

    So I decided to help out with one of my challenges where I do all the donating.  This Mammogram Awareness Challenge will run through October or until I hit the maximum of $1000.  For every share of this message on social media, I am donating:

    All donations will be made to the Cris Collinsworth ProScan Fund.  I chose this charity because they offer free mammograms and other breast related services to lower income women.

    Thanks!!

    Continuing the theme this week of fighting cancer. In the United States a government panel has determined that mammograms to screen for breast cancer in women statistically won’t do much good when the patient is under 50. Historically, it has been recommended that women 40 and above get yearly mammograms. Thus began the controversy as to whether or not insurance companies would continue to pay for the procedure.
