We are a grass roots organizaiton of volunteers, many breast cancer survivors. We laugh a lot, it's better than feeling sad or crying for our friends who have died of breast cancer.
-------We all want to make a difference in the lives of others, and the money is paid directly to the provider based on confidential criteria. We totally follow Hippa rules.
-------On Oct. 11th, Lester Smith, creater of the PinkWellChallenge is appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about his challenge and his new book, "You Gotta Dance Like No One's Watching."

It is a song that is sung every year at The National Breast Cancer Coalition conference, a number #1 organation in this country.

------We need to end breast cancer, all 32 kinds by 2020. Enough is enough.)
------In the mean time back at the ranch, we need to serve and help patients. Patients should be first, above all else. You shouldn't have cancer, then be plagued with depression over how you are going to pay for it as you get one call after another. That's what Circle of Hope does. We pay for breast cancer treatment bills of patients with no insurance, high deductible, low income, those who have been turned into collection, and the list goes on.
------You can help us and together we can make a difference in the lives of others. Let these patients, say, "I Will Survive," "I will Dance Because I Survived Cancer and The Bills That Came With It." Life should be a celebration. Let everyone celebrate as "Each Day is a Gift." (See above.)
