Here's another example of what one person's idea can accomplish. Five years ago, breast cancer surgeon Dr. Ernie Bodai created -- and at the beginning  financially-backed -- the Breast Cancer Research Stamp because he was angry and frustrated at the lack of cancer research funding. He wanted to raise breast cancer awareness and money for research in order to find a breast cancer cure. Breast cancer survivor Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland designed the  Breast Cancer Research Stamp which features the phrases, Fund the Fight and Find a Cure, with an illustration of the mythical goddess of the hunt by Whitney Sherman of Baltimore. With over 800 million stamps already sold, the Breast Cancer Research U.S. Postal Stamp has raised more than $50 million dollars. Dr. Bodai has a new goal -- to double the amount raised during the first five years by raising $100 million dollars in the next five years.

"Never beyond my wildest dreams could I have imagined that the breast cancer stamp would raise millions of dollars for breast cancer research," said Dr. Bodai. "Although we have yet to find a cure from this horrid disease, I am grateful we are now able to have an ongoing effort to fund the necessary research to find a cure." Need a stamp? Remember the Breast Cancer Research Stamp the next time you get ready to purchase postal stamps.
