Some people have the means to offer up tons of ammunition for this battle. They are doctors, scientists, and philanthropists. Others fight with smaller arsenals, but when it comes to fighting cancer, no deed is small and no deed is unneeded.

Whatever kind of difference one hopes to make, tiny steps amount to larger ones. The Women of SWILL calendar is the perfect way to start or continue steps in the right direction. Purchasing a calendar helps take cancer out of the drivers seat. With profits going to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, it helps pull those diagnosed with and affected by breast cancer back onto the bandwagon of life.

Featuring twelve women draped in wraps and photographed in the most scenic areas of Western New York, this 2008 calendar, with support from the Kinley Corporation, will be available prior to or on October 10th for $19.99. Four-colored, spiral bound, and filled with beautiful women for a beautiful mission, its conception was derived in 2006 during a group outing for annual mammograms. When the group realized so many had known those or been those influenced by this disease, they put the Women of SWILL calendar on their schedule.

For anyone affected by this disease or those who just want to help, this calendar allows us to set a "date" with cancer, only to break its heart and leave it deserted on a city corner, knowing its unloved and unwanted. With so many getting support from Living Beyond Breast Cancer, this gives us means to ease the fight and the plight. Buying a calendar is a simple and effective way to lend a helping hand.

Breast cancer affects our moms, daughters, aunts, and sisters, and makes two things certain: we're all in this together, and we all need to do our part. Do something to help now because we all know that, when it comes down to it, cancer really is the biggest boob of all.
