Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Give a Girl a Mammogram Today

Earlier in the month, I spoke about the importance of regularly examining your breasts if I'm not available to do it for you. But I should point out that this is no alternative to seeing a doctor and getting a mammogram. You're only one girl and the miracles of modern medical technology might find something that you missed. Professional examinations are key.

However, the economy sucks and this has left any number of American women without health insurance. It turns out that being uninsured is something of a hurdle when it comes to getting a mammogram.

That's where Right Girl comes riding to the rescue. Wendy found the Breast Cancer Site, which allows you to click a button and provide a free mammogram to a woman who can't afford one on her own. Clicking through doesn't cost you a dime, since the Breast Cancer Site's sponsors pay for the check-ups.

If you're a reader, doing this certainly isn't going to kill you. And if you're a fellow blogger, it would be a nice thing to do if you put the link up over at your place. Someday it might be you or someone that you love that needs the help.
