loved the tittyshot for pink n fergie
Yep, Fergie is a babe and I love she's stepping out for this. Thanks for the video link. Had heard it was out but only available to fans during the games! Thanks!
Absolutely love that celebrities are taking the lead alongside of the NFL to support breast cancer awareness month! I found a neat way to invest this month in a treatment that's in FDA trials to get patented. Either investing breast cancer investing dot com or donating to NFL dot com pink, it's something that we all need to consider!
Kelly - That's great additional info! Keep me posted on any more links like that you find and I'm happy to republish to our readers. Thank you for your comment and support of Breast Cancer.
Love from the treehouse,
Sunny
