First....Thanks Praise for this one. A fine thread. I hope everyone clicks!!!

For those of you wondering or making jokes about why the NFL might be involved, they have several good reasons in mothers, sisters, and wives of players who have had breast cancer. One of the best known is from right here in Columbus. Steffanie Spielman has gained a lot of publicity in the fight against breat cancer. The story of her husband, LB Chris Spielman shows there is more to life than football. One of the greatest players around, he ended his career to be with her during the worst of the times, and was unable to make a comeback. The two of them make a lot of appearances and have the backing of a large grocery chain and have raised a ton of money and awareness. Nice folks, real folks.

PROSTATE???? For those of you who asked........In Central Ohio, Mt. Carmel Health Systems (multi hospital/Urgent cares, etc.) has been HEAVILY advertizing the dangers and the importance of check-ups. They are a large organization and have had some impact. Karen is a Histologist in their lab and about 35% of their workload is prostate biopsies. Somebody is listening because a year ago that figiure was less than 10%.
