I attended a Focus meeting for the Breast Cancer Three-day walk.
The walk is sponsored by the Susan G. Kome Breast Cancer Foundation and is considered the largest non-profit organization dedicated to breast cancer research, treatment and prevention. Do you know how much money they've raised? Less than $1 billion. Breast cancer...the New York Yankees...The Yankee's payroll this year is just under $200 million.
It just kind of put it all into perspective for me. A ball club will spend more money to win the national championship than people are willing to donate to curing breast cancer. It is estimated that, without a cure, ten million women will die from breast cancer in the next twenty-five years. A-Rod is earning $27.7 million dollars this year.
I know that American values have to lie elsewhere...
