[GMUBunny]

ZTA does the 'better bunnies', the squeezy things for breast cancer patients. We use squishy balls instead of sand-filled balloons and give each pnm puffy paint for drawing bunny faces, white balls for the tails, a washrag to fold and wrap around the balls for ears. They tie the washrags with a ribbon and a note of encouragement to the women in the ward, something like "it's not what lies before us or what lies behind us that makes us who we are. It's what lies within us." We deliver the bunnies to the cancer ward at the local hospital for the women who just had masectomies to use to build up their muscles. One of the main reasons I joined ZTA was for our philanthropy and I think the bunnies are always a big hit with pnm's.
