Cancer Benefit

Next Saturday is a cancer benefit for our niece who is dying of breast cancer. They thought they got it all 2years ago and then it returned with a vengeance. She is only 45 years old with a husband and two sons, 16 and 18. The oldest graduates in May and it is unlikely his Mom will be around to see it. It is very sad and the whole family is taking it very hard which is normal. I hope there is a huge turnout for the benefit. They will have pork sandwiches and afterwards, a silent auction and regular auction in the gymnasium of their church. They will be busing people from a nearby parking lot and people directing traffic as it is located on a main State Highway. I sure do wish they could find a cure for breast cancer as it takes the lives of so many between the ages of 30 and 50. I think they should start the mammograms at 30 if they haven't already done so.
