It's October! Think Pink!

I wanted to send out a reminder that today kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Please remind your mothers, sisters and friends to get their annual mammograms....yes, it's THAT important. It could just save your life.

And also remember to support your local chapter of Susan G. Komen foundation. Since my home state is Maryland and Alaska does not have a chapter (can you believe that?!), I have included the link for Race for the Cure Maryland below. It's this Sunday, October 3rd in Hunt Valley, Maryland. If you can't make it on Sunday, don't fret! There's another way to participate...Sleep in for the Cure! $35.00 gets you a Race for the Cure t-shirt - you supply the pajama pants and pillow in the comfort of your own home!

Relief for Haiti

Okay, so I know that everyone has seen the news stories about the turmoil in Haiti. The images are absolutely devastating and altogether shocking. Even in our economic struggle, there are still so many Americans who wonder what they can do to help these people who have lost everything. In it's text messaging donations campaigning, the American Red Cross has collected over $21 million for the people of Haiti. This money will be going to food, clothing, medical supplies, shelter, etc. in a time when these folks need it the most.

To learn more about how you can donate to this very important cause, please visit the American Red Cross website.

Whether you are able to contribute $2, $5 or even $100, every bit helps.
