I’m Proud to be Blogging for a Cause

I’m excited to share this blogging project with everyone here at TLeC and beyond!

Two bloggers, Lance Ekum and Joanna Sutter, teamed up to create a very special e-book and in doing so make a difference in the world.  They asked writers worldwide to contribute articles to their unique and on line vision of a Race for the Cure.

If “Race for the Cure” rings a bell, it is because the Susan G. Komen Foundation holds fundraisers with that name in cities nationwide on their mission to end breast cancer and raise awareness about this life-threatening disease. I’ve participated in our local Race for the Cure many times. And as a grateful breast cancer survivor for over 13 years, the Susan G. Komen Foundation is a charity near and dear to my heart.

A total of 150 writers contributed a favorite article to this e-book, creating a wonderful collection of stories.  Stories of inspiration, personal growth, fitness, food, humor, and more.  I am thrilled and honored to be part of this special e-book.

Today I am asking for your support in this effort.

Breast cancer has affected countless millions of people – from the women and men who have had this disease, to their family and friends who love them.

Estimates show that breast cancer is newly diagnosed in approximately 200,000 women each year.  And while the risks are much lower, men are not immune from this disease either.  That’s about 550 new cases of breast cancer EVERY DAY.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure, founded in 1982, has become the world’s single largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to curing breast cancer at every stage from the causes to the cure.

Please visit the Susan G. Komen Blog-4-Cause website to learn how you can support the mission to end breast cancer.  In addition, you’ll find information on how to receive this Blog-4-Cause E-book as a gift to you.  A bonus e-book, from author and life coach Tim Brownson, is included as well.

Together we can all make a difference.

Thank you for your support in ending breast cancer forever!
