On November 21, 2008,
several of your favorite yeast ranchers will walk 60 miles over the course of
three days.
It's for an event called
the Breast Cancer 3-Day, which benefits the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the
National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund.
Without a cure, one in
eight women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer. That's
why Lisa White, Ashley Paulsworth, JoAnne Carilli-Stevenson, Meg Falbo and
Stefanie Wacker have committed to walking the 3-Day.
The team name is Beer for
Boobs. All the ladies (and maybe some dudes) who will be a part of this team
think we should live long enough for our boobies to enjoy all the great beer in
this world. What a cause, right?
Finally, you can also
donate online at
www.The3Day.org. Or click
here for a direct link to the Beer for Boobs team page to make a donation.
You can donate to any of the team members on Beer for Boobs.

helps deliver the message that because very little symptoms are present until
the disease has progressed a

blood test is very important to early detection.
