Pink Is My Favorite Color...in October anyway!

There are many sites on-line dedicated to Breast Cancer awareness, research, funding, and so on. One of the ways I chose to help support and bring awareness through the Internet was by joining a virtual walk. Go to www.galtogalwalk.org, register, create your own walker, and join my team, "The Terrific Tatas Tour" today! Remember working together we can accomplish so much more!

Here are some links to companies that are donating a portion of their proceeds to help fight breast cancer!
Glow Mama
Lean Cuisine and Carry for the Cause
MK Ash Charitable Foundation
Ford Care: Warriors in Pink
The Pampered Chef's Help Whip Cancer
Energizer Batteries
Uptown Liz
Build-A-Bear
Dish Network
Candle For A Cause

Check out these other websites as well. They are well worth your time!




In closing please keep in mind:
  • Every 2 minutes, there is a new breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Every 14 minutes, a life is lost to the disease.
  • Over 40,000 people will die this year; about 400 of them will be men.
  • 85% of all diagnoses have no family history.
  • 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
  • Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women between ages 40 and 55.

Thanks for writing about breast cancer awareness and linking to my Web site. Just to clarify, my company, Uptown Liz, does not donate proceeds, we promote companies' products whose proceeds go to charity. I personally support several charitable causes - breast cancer and cancer being the biggest ones. FYI, I have family in Tulsa!
