I wanted to bring to everyone's attention an organization called Brides Against Breast Cancer. You may have heard about them recently on various talk shows, such as the Today Show and Oprah.
This organization sells donated wedding dresses to raise money and provide an opportunity for metastatic breast cancer patients’ dreams or wishes to be fulfilled. Their wish-granting service helps put the realities of this terminal illness aside, if just for a few days, while providing the opportunity for a family to spend quality time together. Their hope is that every metastatic breast cancer patient will be able to pass from this world comforted with the joy of having left his or her family a final beautiful memory—something the family will look back on and remember for a lifetime.
So, how can you help? Please consider donating your wedding dress to Brides Against Breast Cancer. Your gift, including shipping cost, is tax-deductible. And please help the cause by passing this information along to others who have been recently married.
I know many may find it difficult to part with such an important reminder of your special day, or may want to save your dress for your daughters. I struggled briefly with the decision myself. But, keep in mind that with this donation you will be helping create a special memory for a dying woman and her family.

Wow. Thanks for that post. That is amazing Pelt - I'm going to post it on my blog too. My wedding dress is perfectly sealed in an air tight container that my mom probalby paid $100 to have sealed. But, I haven't seen it in 10 years. And, I highly doubt anyone will every wear it again...I'm gonna donate mine!
