Your click on the “Click Here to Give – it’s FREE” button helps fund free mammograms for women in need — low-income, inner-city and minority women whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited. Your click is paid for by site sponsors, and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
I know it’s the Noodles that are getting the money but I still think it’s a worthy cause. 8)
clicked. As much as we moan about the N.H.S , it has saved many women. Women elsewhere less unfortunate deserve help too. x

You’re so right, Rubes. I have a good friend in Arizona, with renal failure owing to lifelong diabtetes; she has dropped from 4th on the list for transplant (spleen and kidneys I believe) to 235th in recent months and has to send over here to the UK for her insulin which she can no longer afford.
Yesterday she informed me that she is giving up. In America, if you don;t have the spondulicks..you are shafted! :evil:It must be really scary Esme. We sometimes forget that places like U.S.A are not the land of “milk and Honey” that we believe they are. And the amount of television shows from there, regarding the Medical Profession dont always show it well enough.
I know folks will shout ” well they should have had insurance” But who thinks they are going to get ill, when they have kids to feed etc. I know they have the Mercy hospitals for the poor, but ffs, if we think N.H.S waiting lists are long…I am relieved i am here not there, and no amount of romantically viewed notions shall persuade me otherwise. Yes miracles DO happen, but usually to the rich. ggrrrr.
