Spread the Word!

FREE FREE FREE!!!!
Now that we have your attention, we are asking for your help. In an effort to spread awareness - after all, that IS why we are walking - and raise some additional funds, we would like your help in spreading the word. For your participation, we will enter you in a drawing to win a pair Gopher Hockey Tickets for the upcoming season. We will also be drawing for a giveaway from A Royal Affair Studio. One lucky winner will have their choice of many lovely bracelets generously donated by A Royal Affair Studio.
So.......

First, the awareness part...

Age: a major factor

A woman's chance of getting breast cancer increases with age. According to the American Cancer Society your chance by your current age is:

20 years old - 1 in 1,837
30 years old - 1 in 234
40 years old - 1 in 70
50 years old - 1 in 40
60 years old - 1 in 28
70 years old - 1 in 26
Lifetime - 1 in 8


Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it can be successfully treated.

The key - early detection.
The American Cancer Society recommends:
Mammography - every year starting at age 40
Clinical Breast Exam - every 3 years between ages 20-39
Self Breast Exam - monthly beginning in your 20's

Have you been 'squeezed' lately?

To be entered in the giveaway:
Comment to this post....and for additinal entries into the drawing.......

- Share this with a friend new to this blog and invite them to stop by - have them mention your first name (as well as their own) in the comment section and we will enter BOTH NAMES into the drawing.

-Share this info on our blog using another social network (blog, facebook, myspace, twitter, etc.) and post a comment telling us how you 'Spread the Word.'
We will draw a winner on June 24th, so SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Bling for Boobs - a success!

The Bling for Boobs jewelry fundraiser was a great success! Michelle Wilson with Cookie Lee Jewelry donated 40% of the sales from the jewelry party to Team Giddy Up for the Breast Cancer 3 - Day! A special thank you to Michelle and also all of the wonderful ladies who came out to shop for a great cause! We raised $580 from the jewelry party!






Afterward, our team went out with a couple of girlfriends to raise some more money for the Breast Cancer 3 - Day. We made special t-shirts and sold party beads at some of the local bars. Not only did we have a blast, we also raised $320!
It was truly amazing to see the generosity of strangers.



The grand total for the night $900. I'd call that a successful night!
Thanks again to everyone for their continued support!
