Breast cancer awareness
Here we are again in October and breast cancer awareness month. My family has been touched by this disease on four occasions. My sister, Beth who left us in January as the result of years of chemotherapy treatment for her breast cancer which metastasized into her brain. Myself, now a twelve year survivor. My sister-in-law, Carolyn a two time survivor and my youngest sister, Laura who is a three year survivor.
It is my dream that no one else will lose a family member to this very curable disease. Early detection is imperative and we need to continue make advances in the treatment. One of eight women will be diagnosed with this disease - your mother, your sister, your wife, your daughter, your best friend.
This year for the first time the non-profit which my brother, Mark and Carolyn founded - EBeauty, held both the turning pink of Washington, DC and New York's Times Square. These events serve to raise awareness and funds. The New York event is historic in that it has never been done before and is in partnership with the American Cancer Society and Good Morning America.
EBeauty is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that supports women undergoing treatment for cancer through the EBeauty Community, Wig Exchange Program and other charitable initiatives.
