  • Less Cancer, More Birthdays!

    Me and Steve Hungary 1966
    Today is MY birthday (never mind, which one!) and, in celebration of the 17th Anniversary of my 29th birthday (there, I said it!) I have partnered with the American Cancer Society's Choose Campaign (unpaid) by hosting a special giveaway on my shopping blog (ditto) to
    help shine the spotlight on a sobering statistic:

    One in three women will get cancer in her lifetime.

    Considering my twin brother, Steve (yes, his REAL name) has been battling cancer for a few years, now (AND WINNING!)
    I am committed to finding and sharing ways in which women can lead a healthier lifestyle.

    Especially, moms like me – I mean, we do tend to put our children's needs first, right?

    So, in lieu of sending me birthday presents (ahem) I thought it would be nice to do something special, right here, on my blogger-with-children-who-does-not-blog-about-her-children-mostly-type-um-blog.

    [sound of crickets chirping]

    So, in honor of my older brother (by 3 minutes, still, older than me) Steve:

    • For every comment I receive on this post (because, you know, some folks STILL read blogs) I will donate $1.00 of what I've saved through BlogHerAds, this year (up to $100) to the  American Cancer Society.

    [NOTE:  I would be THRILLED with the usual 3 comments — thankyouverymuch — but, feel free to pass the word along; I am donating the whole shuh-bang, anyway!]

    I will leave comments open for 1 week (because, I know that you are busy) and then post a copy of my donation receipt.

    Why?

    Because, it's My birthday, being nice matters and cancer sucks wet poodle (der!) oh, and Happy Birthday, mah bruh-thuh!
