Hi! I hope you can help me. I am a breast cancer survivor. I was turning 43
when I was diagnosed. With the hope of my friends we started a dragon boat
team on Vancouver Island Canada for breast cancer survivors. The dragon
boats for breast cancer survivors started in 1996 because of studies at the
University of British Columbia. Before that women were told to go home and
not use there arms.

Well the sport has grown and we have taken breast cancer out of the closet.
Women from all across Canada us will meet in London and fly onto South
Africa to Raise Breast Cancer Awareness and share the message of Hope.

I do not know how far Yorkshire is from the Airport but we have a stop over
for 10 hours. If at all possible we would like your help to raise breast
cancer awareness in England even though our stay is short. We also fly back
into London. We leave Canada on April 12/04 and Arrive on April 13/04.
Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated to help us raise breast
cancer awareness.

Look forward to hearing from you.

I hope the women from Calendar girls might help. Please pass this message
onto them. The statistics for breast cancer are alarming. We want to share
as much information as possible.

Thank you

Mary
Vancouver Island,
Canada

This only appears to have beem posted by Klance within the last 24 hours...yet the date on the message and the dates she refers to in the letter are a year old!

I am all too confused with this post. What's the point of it and what does it have to do with Calendar Girls?

Well they did the calendar to raise money for breast cancer research....but this letter is a bit dated as Charlie pointed out.

That's what i assumed, but having never seen Calendar Girls i didn't know until checked IMDB, but it says this

So I assumed they only do it for Leukemia and not breast cancer.
