The idea of this hiss tank came to the other day when i remembered that octobre was breast cancer awareness month!
Any way i lost my grandmother last year and before she died she had breast cancer and lost one of her breasts because of it! she didnt die because if the breast cancer but many men and women have lost their lives to breast cancer. So i decided to make this tank to remeber all the people who have fought breast cancer or famalies who have relatives that are fighting or have fought breast cancer.... This particular tank is being given to a friend of mine whos wife has cancer, but i will be making 2 more and putting them on ebay for sale with all winnings going to the Susan G. Komen Breast cancer movement. please i will post the auctions here on the site and please bid what u can to help fight breast cancer. thank you all for reading. as some of you might know the in 1992 Nancy G. Brinker made her dying sister a promise. Fulfilling the Promise Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the CureĀ® and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Susan G. Komen is the boldest community fueling the best science and making the biggest impact in the fight against breast cancer. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested almost $2 billion to fulfill our promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries.

I love this idea. Very sorry to here about your friends wife. But this is noble cause that I hope all tankers can get behind.
Please send me a pm when you post those on eBay I will be sure to bid. If i win the auction i will again repost it with all proceeds going to this charity. And Perhaps the next winner will do the same and we could have this tank traveling the country one usps location at a time.

Wow. Awesome paint job.
This is an excellent way to remember not only your grandma and your friend's wife, but the many women and men(they can get breast cancer too)that have suffered and gone through hell with this disease. I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry for the loss that many others have had to endure because of this epidemic. |

Great idea and cause! Would be nice if someone can come up with a pink schemed pilot to go along with the tank.
(On a side note - I wish the Komen foundation execs had been smarter about their words and decisions regarding family planning / planned parenthood. Now, I, like many people, are on the sidelines about the Komen foundation - which has really hurt their otherwise good works.) |
