Sorry for the delay in posting...I've been working on my personal blog at Lil This Lil That (stop by and take a look), among several other projects over the past couple of weeks. One of these projects concerns October being national Breast Cancer Awareness month. Like many others, my family has been hit by this deadly disease. Therefore, I wanted to raise awareness on our family blog as well as on my personal blog.
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

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.
