This is great news! I'm really happy to see PP surviving and thriving given the multitude of attacks on them in recent years, the Komen thing being just one example.

Awesome!

I'm having some bitter feelings about not participating in the Komen walk this year.

me too. And it's causing tension with friends since I'm not donating to their walks.

Luckily, one of my friends that usually walks with me did the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.

I found an ACS breast cancer walk locally, but the information on it is spotty.

I actually just saw a commercial on the ACS breast cancer walks. It caught my attention because I never saw a commercial for them before, but I guess they are starting to try to capitalize on Komen's fall from grace.

The commercial is why I looked them up! I had no idea. I thought they were all about the Relay for Life as their event.

Speaking of Komen and the walks, I had someone in my FB thread today going off about how she refused to support Komen since Komen donates to PP. I had to laugh - Komen is screwed no matter what.
