There's a great organization that is working to find a cure for breast cancer through diving. This intrepid group of hardy divers from the Pacific Northwest USA has been raising money for breast cancer research for several years. Their signature event is their annual Dive for a Cure. Men and women divers come from throughout the PNW to enjoy a day of underwater activities, contests, and a Barbecue on the Oregon Coast every year in early Autumn. There are usually some pretty amazing prizes given away at the event; in the past, these have included drysuits, regulators, and even a Vespa!
If the thought of scuba diving in the cool waters of Oregon isn't your thing, you can still support the organization in a number of other ways. Dive for a Cure has T-shirts, hats, wristbands and other items for sale, or you can donate directly. Details about the 2011 Dive for a Cure have not yet been released, but I'll be sure to post them here when the time comes. In the meantime, check out their website, and be sure to spread the word about this worthy cause.
