If you could help a person with breast cancer get diagnosed faster so she could be treated sooner – and it didn’t cost you a dime – would you?

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation now offers that chance, with a click of a mouse.

The Internet search engine www.Ask.com will donate money to Komen every time people answer questions about breast cancer on its site.  It takes 30 seconds and doesn’t cost anything.

Every new user who joins the Search For The Cure program earns a star, for which Ask.com will contribute 10 cents to the cause.  You can earn more stars by logging back on to answer more questions, inviting friends to take the quiz, or by making a donation to Komen directly.

Visit www.ask.com/cure and answer the breast cancer-related question at the top of its site from now through Dec. 31.  If enough people participate, Ask.com will donate an additional $100,000 to the $1 million it’s already given.  That money translates to almost 1,300 free mammograms for underprivileged women. 

Click here to go to www.Ask.com to answer the questions.
