Fantastic news! I was reading an article at the chicagotribune.com, and discovered a wonderful article by Dawn Reiss about a man, Oz du Soleil that has started an organization that "collects slightly used bras for underprivileged, lower income, girls and women." How awesome is that!! This do-gooder collects bras through his blog, support1000.blogspot.com and according to Reiss' article the initial goal of collecting 1,000 bras was met back in April and has now collected over 3,000 bras! The things that we take for granted. I often donate clothes for children and adults but it never crossed my mind to include the ol' overtheshoulderboulderholders. Every woman/girl needs them. Bras are definitely sure to be on my list when the holiday clothes drives come around.

Hi April, Timely information you've shared; one of my friends was just diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She's doing well and we keep up with her via progress and leave her messages at caringbridge.org.
Thanks again for your thoughts via the blog!
