Another Worthy Fundraiser for Cancer plus the Vancouver Sun’s series on Breast Cancer

By arbutuscoaching | October 5, 2009

Did you participate in yesterday’s Run for the Cure? I walked it with my friend Penny and once again was overwhelmed at the sea of pink out to raise money for breast cancer research.

Some of the outfits were hilarious, the group of women with pink bras over their T-shirts, the pink hair, and pink cowboy hats. Not to be outdone, dogs got in the act as well; some were sprayed pink while others wore pink scarves. It was great.

Another worthwhile fundraiser this month is being held at Curves in Saanich on Oct. 22 from 6-9 p.m. Proceeds will go to the Victoria Hospital Foundation. The event includes speakers on women’s health, hair and makeup tips, and a fashion show. There’s also a silent auction, I’ve donated a two copies of my e-book for cancer survivors, as well as one month’s free coaching.

My e-book has been listed on Willow’s ‘The Best Ever List’ which is a compilation of information and support resources that young women found most helpful during the days and months following their diagnosis. For more information on the event, or to contribute something to the silent auction for this worthy fundraiser, contact Diane at Curves.

Oh and if you haven’t caught it already, don’t forget the Vancouver Sun’s weeklong series on breast cancer, which started Saturday.
