The Breast Cancer Site

Hi All

Is there any chance that we could have this as a sticky/or a daily pop up please?

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.

It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

I know research is research wherever it goes on BUT this is an American site and there are charities in the UK that work in a similar way. There is a link called one click - which is a search engine that you can chose and each time you click it donates to a charity of your choice.

Not against this site though - any other thoughts please - should we maybe have a 'charity section' within the forum.

Sorry Hec - Only one that has been sent to me but I click it twenty times a day for good measure! I think a charity section would be a great idea. We often purchase gifts for friends and family, and I always choose the option where a contribution goes to the charity if I can. Thanks x

I've clicked to and posted it on facebook for friends to do the same. I agree a Charity / Volunteering section would be great. I am looking at going on a volunteer holiday later in the year with visually impaired people.
