Thanks for the response.

Heart disease IS given attention: In Australia we have a range of events for heart disease along the same lines as the Breast Cancer project, such as "National Heart Week" and "<a href=" http://www.heartfoundation.org.au/Healthy_Living/Kids/Jump_Rope_for_Heart.htm ">Jump Rope for Heart</a>" - a very successful program for school children. In NSW, a state of Australia, there are also very public events such as the upcoming "Seven Bridges Walk" to be held on 28 October - again designed to raise awareness of Heart disease. There is also international events such as <a href="http://www.heartfoundation.org.au/world_heart_day">World Heart Day</a>. I'm sure there are many other events that I am not aware of designed to raise awareness about heart disease. 2. Support is not mutually exclusive: I think that both diseases can/should be given attention. I don't think it would be a good idea to focus only one disease because it kills more people. Raising awareness for any disease is a good thing. 3. Personal reasons: Why do I try to help promote Breast Cancer? Because it has affected people close to me. Thanks for your comment!

Why do people pay so much attention to breast cancer and so little to heart disease? Did you know that many times more women are killed by heart disease than breast cancer?
