    Default October - Breast Cancer awareness month

    Hey guys, I was on the EA forums for NHL11, and came across a really amazing idea.

    Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it plagues over 155,000 of our Women per year, I have decided to turn a recreational activity (video game hockey) into doing something good for the community. I pledged that I would donate $0.50 per game of video game hockey I play in the month of October.

    October is Cancer Awareness Month - EA SPORTS Hockey League Xbox 360 Team Talk - EA SPORTS Hockey League: EA Forums

    I put up this thread because I think it might be fun for us goalies to also put up a pledge of some sort. Maybe X$ amount per save we make? What do you think about this? Any ideas? Or X$ amount per goal we let in?

    Here are the donation site details. I think this is a very worthy cause, as my Mother battled with a deadly form of skin cancer, my father battled with mouth cancer, and my girlfriends mother battled breast cancer.

    I ran the CIBC "Run for the Cure" today in Vancouver with my sister and family, my sister is a recent survivor of breast cancer and this year our team reached just over $8,800 for this cause in donations. B1otter good for you in what your doing and I hope you play alot of games this month :)
