Do you want to do more to fight breast cancer than walk in yet another march?

Try joining the Army of Women.

It's sort of an E-Harmony to match research scientists with the women they need to run large studies to find a way to prevent breast cancer. For example, you might get an e-mail alerting you that a scientist is looking for blood samples from women who have nursed two children. If you qualify and want to participate, you send an e-mail back and make the arrangements.

2. You mean it's like a match.com. eHarmony is homophobic.

Unless you're saying Army of Women don't help lesbians?

3. Sorry about that - I was quoting someone else and didn't think it through!

BTW - Dr. Susan Love who is behind this effort is a lesbian.


She also says that being a lesbian is NOT a risk factor:
