Bid on McMillen's pink jersey's now on eBay and support She4Life

ELKHART, Ind. - Terry McMillen, driver of the Amalie Oil/UNOH/Motor State Distributing NHRA Top Fuel team, put the team's pink jerseys up for bid on eBay this week. The teams month long Breast Cancer Awareness campaign to bring attention to She4Life.

She4Life is a brand new charity supporting the families and patients of breast cancer when the cost of treatments starts to put a burden on the patients. "SHE4Life is in its infancy stages, and we want to help them get up and running," McMillen said. "They are going to help patients by going into communities and putting their line of products into stores. Money from the sales will be put directly back into the community in which they are sold and I think that's pretty cool."

To learn more about She4Life visit their Facebook page.

One of the goals of SHE 4Life, is to be able to help breast cancer centers / programs not only assist breast cancer patients with financial burdens, but we would also like to help promote and support "kids count" support groups for children who has a family member battling cancer. These groups, which my sister help initiate one at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga TN, is very vital to help children process, relate, understand and live through the never ending changing process of what a diagnosis of cancer does to the entire family! This video was highlighted on CNN a couple years ago about the program at Erlanger and the value it has for all children, the family and for how all learn and grow together throughout the process! Help SHE 4Life grow, gain recognition and support so that our goals and heartfelt work can be accomplished!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP... With today's economy and insurance prices, thousands and thousands of low-income and uninsured women could lose access to breast cancer programs through state and federal budget cuts this year. We need your help, please take a moment to contact your local and state policymakers urging them to preserve funding for the National Breast & Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP)


NBCCEDP is a public safety net program run jointly by the CDC and state departments of health. It provides breast cancer early detection services to women who have no insurance and who don't qualify for Medicaid. Without NBCCEDP, they would likely fall through the cracks in our health care system and with current economic conditions, more and more of our friends and neighbors are relying on this critical program. Since 1991, NBCCEDP has provided more than 10 million screenings and diagnosed almost 52,000 breast cancers. This year alone, the program will provide hundreds of thousands of mammograms to underserved women across the country.


We know that early detection of breast cancer is a key to surviving the disease. When breast cancer is detected early, before it spreads beyond the breast, the 5--year relative survival rate is 99 percent. If diagnosed when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, relative survival rates plummet to 23 percent.


So please reach out to your state lawmakers as soon as possible to let them hear your voice and concern that cutting screening not only could cost lives -- it also will cost states more and will increase the burden on the health care system. When breast cancer is detected at later stages, treatment is MUCH MORE expensive than when it is detected early. Please help support NBCCEDP -- Early screening and detection will help save many that you know and love!!

Please help us do our part to speak out for all by contacting your local representatives and your state legislators to express your concern for decrease in funding for this program, we don't need any more battles for all who are fighting to survive from this disease and with Early Detection we can help raise the survival rate percentages!! Survive Hope Empower together... Make your voices heard today!!

Thank you!
