But maybe it was a wake up call to them to head back to their original mission. It really is a very moving story (NOBODY sees the video without getting verklempt) that I think got to be more about money/power/prestige than about being a leader in helping women.
The fact is there IS a cure for breast cancer. The trick is to help women to be able to use that knowledge while they can still benefit from it (education, prevention, mammograms, treatment and the mountain of cash required to get through it once diagnosed). And politics over that mission is what bit them in the ass. If they can get back to empowering women in a myriad of ways, from finding a way to get people to donate the money to training to walk 60 miles (I can tell you first hand, that is an ACCOMPLISHMENT) to handling your health proactively, they can repair their damaged reputation.
I really think they changed the way people think about women's health. I hope they can get back to that and ease up on the buy everything pink you can find path they've been on.
