One More Year - And More...



Packer Fans all over the world are happy with last week's news that Brett Favre will play for one more year.

Even better news - is the news from Deanna Favre, Brett Favre's wife, who has completed treatment for breast cancer. Favre used her celebrity status to raise funds for breast cancer organizations in Wisconsin. Last year she started the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation to raise money for low income women with breast cancer.

In March, Favre and American Family donated $1 million to breast cancer organizations in Wisconsin. The $1 million was raised through sales of a special pink cap with a Packer logo. My sister gave me one for Christmas last year, and it was one of several inspirations I had to commit to the Denver Walk.


210,000 hats were sold.
