This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Roxann!
I don’t look at cancer the same way anymore. Up until recently, I had never personally had experience with the disease that causes physical pain and emotional turmoil. Today, I’m a different person…different than even 2 months ago. When I hear the word cancer these days, I know the pain, suffering, and uncertainty they and their loved ones are enduring and my heart aches. I’ve walked in their shoes and I know the battle they’re up against. And I want so badly for someone to find a cure…for all of it.
October is breast cancer awareness month. A disease primarily of women, it does not discriminate against age, race, or socioeconomic status. It doesn’t consider the fact that this woman is a mother, a daughter, a wife, a grandmother, a friend. Many organizations will be going pink for the cure and I wholeheartedly support their efforts and resources.
If you’ve been to your local Sam’s Club in the past week or 2, you may have spotted some items with pink packaging. General Mills has partnered with Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation for the past 5 years to bring breast cancer support to local communities. This year, they will make their annual donation of $2 million to advance research and support education and community outreach projects.
Through April 12th, 2012, you can visit PinkTogether.com to vote on how half of General Mills’ donations will be divided between the Treatment and Assistance Program and Prevention Research. Both are equally and vitally important, but my vote this year was for Prevention Research because I think it would be amazing if someone could find a way to prevent breast cancer (or any cancer for that matter).
Win It! I have a $25 Sam’s Club gift card to give away to one reader to purchase some of the products that feature pink packaging in support of breast cancer awareness. Simply leave me a comment with one way you’re giving back to help fight breast cancer. Comments will close on October 14th at 11:59 PM PST.
