Click to Give: Free Mammograms
There are just 7 days left in October and The Breast Cancer Site is just shy of having enough clicks for their sponsor to fund and additional 150 mammograms. They are currently sitting at 90%. Please follow this link to add your click. It won’t cost you a dime and it could save a life.
The free mammograms go to low-income, inner-city and minority women whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited. Your click is paid for by site sponsors, and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Speaking of breast cancer, the Austin Komen is right around the corner. I’ve been walking 2-3 hours a week in addition to an hour of pilates once a week and the hour long Zen training on Saturdays. It’s come up on me really fast this year and I haven’t done nearly enough fund raising. My family is finally getting around to signing up, though!
If you have the pennies, I would appreciate it if you would donate to me or my team. You don’t have to donate a ton of money. Every little bit helps. So even if you can only spare a few dollars, I’ll be thankful.
Funds are used for breast cancer education and screening programs in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties, as well as to support the Komen for the Cure Award and Research Grant Program.
If you’re local to Austin and would like to join my team, The Pirateers, please jump right in! The more, the merrier. My family needs to get off their lazy behinds and sign up. Do you hear that, family? I can’t believe this year’s walk is just 17 days away. I’ve been walking 2-3 times a week so I’m ready to go! It’s only 5k though so anyone can do it. All that and you even get to dress like a pirate! Sweeeeet!
I just love all the fun pink stuff out this month. From the pink Kitchenaid to pink jewelry to Panera’s Pink Ribbon Bagel it’s hard to miss the pink parade of products!
And now I must get my butt in gear and get to my upholstery class.
