hmmm... let me guess, the other 81% goes to "awareness"?

@AmazzoneFuriosa @NancysPoint @BCAction @BC_Consortium @metavivor @METUPorg wonderful to see thoughtful consideration of Komen's money and messaging

Sharing my list of #cancerbooks by other bloggers/authors makes me happy. Support them, if you're able. Read their books. Write reviews. Tell others. https://t.co/11NDGkmQK2 @BRCAresponder @PinkRibbonBlues @_bellajenna_ @jackiefox12 @TeresaRhyne @AleneGoneBad @HeartSisters
