Do Something About Breast Cancer
Today is October 1st and while that date may not mean much to you (unless it’s your birthday or anniversary) at NanaHood.com it means it’s time to fight breast cancer.
As you know, I HATE cancer. This year the whole month of October will be dedicated to raising awareness and funds to aid breast cancer research. I’m calling it my “Do Something About Breast Cancer” campaign. Friends, we can’t do everything but we can do something. So I am asking you to help by choosing at least one thing on the NanaHood list to help end breast cancer.
Pray. For a cure, for better treatment, for strength for those fighting it and comfort for those who have lost loved ones.
Wear pink all month long to promote awareness. I did this last year and am going to do it again this year. By the end of the month you feel a little like a strawberry milkshake, but that’s no big deal.
Donate to research. NanaHood has a Friends and Family team and you can donate by clicking here.
Participate in a fundraising event like a race or walk.
Bake Cupcakes for a Cure. Thanks to all who helped with this last year! If any of you are bakers all we do is bake them, sell them for a dollar and donate to the NanaHood Team.
Tell someone to get a mammogram. Every where I speak I ask women if they have had their mammogram and every where I go, there are a handful who have never had one! So ask your mom, sister, friends and neighbors if they have had their mammogram and if they haven’t keep asking them until they go!
Do your own self exam. Here’s how….Click here to read about it.
Host your own office party or event to raise awareness and raise funds. It isn’t hard and it’s fun!
Send a card to a friend who is fighting cancer and let them know you care, or better yet, call them or go visit. None of us want to slay a dragon alone!
If you have a blog or Facebook page please give NanaHood.com a shout out this month. There will be tons of information, ideas, interviews and other things going on here to raise awareness.
I did this video for my cousin Martha two years ago. Feel free to share it with someone who needs a smile or some encouragement.
I know it’s Monday but go on and “Do Something” for those fighting breast cancer!
And don’t forget you can get a NanaHood shirt to promote awareness!
Good for you Ruth!
I help fight breast cancer by participating in Relay for Life, praying, having mammograms, and encouraging other women to have their mammograms.
My sister is a BC survivor, unfortunatly I have several family members fighting different C’s so we do a lot of praying in my family. We support with donations and time. Thanks for all you do.
God Bless
As a Breast cancer survivor, it is so important to spread the word, beucase every little bit counts. Won’t you join my blog hop and BAKE/COOK something pink this month?
Oh…and thank you so much for sharing this important post on the GRAND Social!! ?
This is wonderful and important, Teresa. I’ve shared that great video on Twitter. Best wishes for huge attention and help fighting breast cancer. Love those T-shirts! I’m with Minday: Go Nana!
I love this! What a great way to promote a cure. I am doing my bit by supporting several Susan G. Komen walkers this year! 🙂 Go Nana!
