I understand, guest, but this is not the place to state your opinion. These were set free to fight breast cancer....maybe you should write to the Susan G. Komen foundation. I had nothing to do with the release of these and since I am a breast cancer survivor, I kind of think your need to post this to this picture was out of line...I think you could have gone to my guestbook and added your suggestion. Again, you need to contact the people who hold the Race for the Cure for this and only takes away from the women who are fighting, have DIED and who have run the race. I believe you are totally out of line in posting this! Hope none of your family or yourself ever have to deal with the disease. There's a time and a place for your comment on the balloons.....I think this is NOT the place.

Unless these are made with environmentally friendly easily decomposing material, this release may be responsible for killing thousands of sea turtles, seals, sea lions, and whales...PLEASE FIND ANOTHER METHOD.
