Someone forwarded this to me and I thought I would let you all know. This is the first time I've heard of this. I looked it up at
www.usps.com to verify.

We need those of you who are great at forwarding on info with your e-mail network. Please read this and pass it on. Peace and good health. It would be wonderful if 2003 were the year a cure for breast cancer was found! This is one note I'll gladly pass on. The notion that we could raise $35 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful! As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that kills and maims so many of our mothers, sisters, friends. Instead of the normal $.37 for a stamp,
this one costs $.45. The additional $.08 will go to breast cancer
research. A "normal" book costs $7.40, this is $9.00. It takes a minute at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care. I urge you to do two
things TODAY:
1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.
2. E-mail your friends to do the same.
Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned
upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in
this drive. We can all afford the $ 1.60. Please help & pass it on.
