Another great day in 2010 as we have Amigos everywhere helping to fight Breast Cancer and to find a cure. This cancer comprises of 10.4% of all cancer worldwide among women. According to the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO), more than 500,000 people around the globe die from breast cancer each and every year. Each and every one of us has skin in this take no prisoners game, as there is not a person in this world that has not lost a mother, sister, daughter, sister-in-law, grandmother, sister-in-law, aunt, daughter-in-law, niece, cousin, neighbor or a friend to this hideous monster.
XTrainRadio.com kicked off an event yesterday 1/19/2010 called the “Breast Cancer Beatdown!” It is up and running, so please do tell all your friends and family that they are going to make this a huge party to honor those that have fallen to this awful disease and “Beatdown Breast Cancer” in 2010.

MY BAD TEQUILA is fortunate to know such caring individuals as Woody, Jay and my dear friend Wendy, whom is a Survivor. Every year Wendy gets all her Amigos and Amigas together to walk for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, formerly known as The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Susan Goodman Komen was born on Halloween Day, October 31st, 1943 in Peoria, Illinois and at the young age of 33 was diagnosed with breast cancer and died three years later in the year 1980. Susan’s younger sister, Nancy Goodman Brinker, strongly believed that Susan’s outcome might have been better if she and her family would have known more about cancer and its treatment. In 1982 Nancy founded the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in Susan’s memory. Just this last December 2, 2009 Nancy Brinker was appointed to the CEO position of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We wish you continued luck with the organization, Nancy.
Another very humane and giving person is someone that most of you know by his long drives on the PGA Tour – Mr. John Daly. Back in October 2009, JohnDalyBBQ.com launched an event devoted to awareness and funds for the Memphis-Mid South Affiliate of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit breast cancer organization. During the entire month of this past October, John Daly BBQ donated 10% of all gross sales from every purchase make on their website to the Memphis-Mid South Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. John Daly BBQ’s COO Mr. Russ Christy was quoted as saying “This incentive creates a Win-Win situation for all parties involved. Together, we’re raising fund to help find a cure for breast cancer and helping educate people about the disease.” Not only do I respect John Daly the Golf Athlete, John Daly the BBQ World Famous Expert, but most of all I like and respect John Daly the Philanthropist.
