Today we made payments for two UK ladies to have their PIP implants removed and replaced. This could not have been accomplished without the tireless fundraising of our friend Tina and her generous MFI supporters. Tina selflessly fundraised for women in great need while she personally was dealing with capsular contracture. Thus, we have invited Tina to create her own account and raise funds for a revision.

Although Tina’s pay if forward for PIP account will close, it was a successful endeavor. Fundraising for a charitable cause directly through MFI has never been done before. This was a watershed event and we appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience throughout the process. Allowing Tina to utilize MFI for a different outcome made a huge difference to two women in need (Rebecca and Sue). Below I’ve attached a letter of gratitude from Sue Coates, one of the women who will undergo surgery on June 13th, because of your assistance. We’ll conduct a follow up interview with both Sue and Rebecca after their operations.

Hello MFI,

My name is Sue Coates, I am one of the ladies you have offered to help with the removal & replacement of PIP implants.

I found out in January of 2012 that I have PIP implants, and I must say the news came as a very big shock. After several letters from my local NHS hospital I was seen by a consultant, who offered no help at all. I was devestated and didn’t know where to turn.

I contacted a PIP implants help group on Facebook, where I met Antonia Mariconda, Tina, and other supporters. They offered assistance in getting a removal and replacement, which has been wonderful. I really dont know where I would be without the support of our small group of wonderful women.

As for my upcoming surgery, I cannot stress to you how greatful I am for your kind donations. This has been such a hard time for my family and I, but your generosity and Tina’s fundraising has made such a difference to us. I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I am an emotional girl but when I got the call telling me about your support I nearly fell off my chair. Honestly, I cried quite a lot, which is no surprise considering what was being offered to me.

What you are doing is a wonderful thing, and if there is anything I can do in return then please dont hesitate to ask.

Thank you again you are a truely wonderful people.

The founder of the French breast implant company at the heart of a global health scare has been jailed after failing to pay his bail.

Jean-Claude Mas, 72, was released on 100,000 euro ($131,000) bail in January, facing a charge of “involuntary injury”. Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) was shut down in 2010 after it was found to have used industrial-grade silicone gel.

Up to 400,000 women in 65 countries are thought to have had the implants.

True story or publicity stunt? You decide.

Sheyla Hershey was driving to her Houston home from a Super Bowl party on Sunday when she lost control of her Ford Mustang and crashed into a tree.

She reportedly wasn’t wearing a seat belt, but she walked away from the wreck, thanks to her 38KKK breasts, the UK’s the Daily Mail reports. The 32-year-old model appeared in court Monday and denied she was driving drunk, the report said.

She originally held a Guinness World Record with 38MMM breast implants, but lost them to a life-threatening infection.

It’s a brand new year for our friends in Australia, most of Europe too, the UK is about to countdown, and here in the States we’re finishing last minute preparations. According the the Mayans (hope they’re wrong) this could be our last NYE, so it may be a good excuse to party like the world is ending! However you spend your NYE, we wish everyone at MyFreeImplants a boob filled year and look forward to all the new ladies joining and hitting hall of fame in 2012.
