    Signed and shared. I hope they changed their minds but in the meantime there are so many great runs, swims, rides, tri's, climbs .... that help the cause I think it'd be great if athletes send a copy of registration for other events, your rider number ... "Don't throw Planned Patenthood under the bus and I run!"

    So just starting a list like this one for the Breast Cancer fund:

    There are worthier breast cancer charities in any case IMO. Trek mentioned the Breast Cancer Fund. Breast Cancer Action is another one. Then we can donate directly to PP.

    And you could swim and send a letter with your ear plugs.

    I'm so angry about this I don't know what to do with myself. Komen is the fund I have named in my will, they are the ones I donate to every year, I support others who do their runs/walks/races. No more.

    I called my lawyer to have that section removed from my will, they will never see another dime from me. Politicizing women's health is reprehensible.

    I was thinking of the Danskin Tri but they are to the same beneficiary so will have to try another tri ..... and in Canada one could do this:

    Thank you, Pax! Bless you for doing that.

    wow, that's huge. I agree with Blueberry. They should know what they are losing.

    I don't think they realized how bad a move this was. (I think they will soon though)
