Happy Valentine's Day to Me!

I ran in Macy's at lunch today and saw something I couldn't resist.  I LOVE martini glasses, especially the cute hand-painted ones by Lolita.  Well today I saw a pink ribbon martini glass.  I thought it would be a great addition to the ones I already have.  And of course, a portion of the proceeds go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  So it was a win-win situation!  There is also a recipe for a pink ribbon martini on the bottom:  2 ounces vodka, 3 ounces pink lemonade and 1 ounce triple sec.  Sounds yummy!

Half Way There!!!!!

I received an email from Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure telling me that I am half way to my minimum fundraising goal!  I am so amazed by the generosity of my friends, family, co-workers and strangers!  Thanks to all who have donated so far.  Your donation will make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

The following information was also in the email I received.  For those of you who haven't donated yet, please keep this information in mind.

Did you know that virtually every major advance in the fight against breast cancer has been touched by Susan G. Komen for the Cure®? That we've helped train more than 400 breast cancer researchers and funded more than 1,800 research projects over the past 27 years? That we've provided more money for breast cancer research and community health programs than any entity besides the U.S. government? Komen for the Cure's goal is to "energize science to find the cures.” We are proud of our contribution to some real victories:

• More early detection - nearly 75 percent of women over 40 years old now receive regular mammograms, the single most effective tool for detecting breast cancer early (in 1982, less than 30 percent received a clinical exam).
• More hope - the five-year survival rate for breast cancer, when caught early before it spreads beyond the breast, is now 98 percent (compared to 74 percent in 1982).
• More research - the federal government now devotes more than $900 million each year to breast cancer research, treatment and prevention (compared to $30 million in 1982).
• More survivors - America’s 2.5 million breast cancers survivors, the largest group of cancer survivors in the U.S., are a living testament to the power of society and science to save lives.

For Your Valentine!

Make a donation honor of your loved one for Valentine's Day.  You can do so by clicking here.  Then send me an email with their information and I'll send them a special Valentine card to let them know.

Helping to eradicate breast cancer would be the best gift you could ever give!
