    Tell the board of Susan G. Komen: Don't throw Planned Parenthood under the bus!

    Please consider signing the attached petition to protest the actions of the Susan G. Komen organization. I find this very upsetting. Regardless of your political views, in my opinion, this is another attempt to Divide and Conquer Women and our rights to quality and educational health care. I can no longer support the Susan G Komen foundation and while I didn't now Susan, I find it impossible to believe this would have been her wish or her sister's wish.

    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.
