Carrie Underwood Supports Breast Cancer Awareness
I love that a cause so near and dear to my heart is getting so much support from country music. Like how Carrie Underwood is going to do her part to fight breast cancer when she turns the Grand Ole Opry backdrop pink on Oct. 2, then she'll perform along with Terri Clark. A portion of the proceeds from that night will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization. Then on Nov. 13, Keith Anderson will take the stage at Chicago's Joe's Bar to help raise money for Chicago Bears' Greg Olsen's breast cancer charity, Receptions for Research. Technically, October is the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But really, any month is a good month to do everything you can to find a cure for this disease that takes way too many lives. And if you want to roll the dice to beat the odds, you can just play Bunco. I helped start this grass-roots thing called Bunco for Breast Cancer when a friend was diagnosed, and we've since raised almost $900,000. Any way you can help, it helps. And God bless the country stars for lending their fame to the fight.

Rita says:
My mom died of breast cancer when she was only 39. They didn’t do the breast exams and have good pre screening in those days so I think it is wonderful when people that can help in such a wonderful way do. Thank you Carrie and all the others that put themselves out there. You change peoples lives every day, for the better!

My Aunt had breast cancer but thanks to the great doctors and research she is a survivor. I think a lot of us have been touched by cancer in our families and I thank God that people like Carrie are bringing it more and more to the attention of the country and actually DOING THINGS TO CONQUER IT. Thank you Carrie for your time and support to a very worthy cause and hopefully a cure will be found soon. It sure makes me VERY PROUD to be a Carrie fan. She is beautiful inside and out.

I applaud Ms. Underwood and anyone other high profile personality who uses their celebrity status to help raise awareness and/or raise funds for such worthy causes as breast cancer research, Alzheimer’s studies and the like.
