Breast Cancer awareness is so important. I can’t tell you how many women I know personally who have been effected in some way by breast cancer. It seems we all know someone that who has had breast cancer. Beginning September 19th, Sam’s Club stores will feature exclusive pink packaging on some of your favorite participating General Mills products in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
For 5 years, General Mills has partnered with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Foundation to bring breast cancer support to local communities, and this year they are making their annual donation of $2 million to the foundation to advance breast cancer research and support education and community outreach projects.
Purchase specially-marked General Mills products like Cheerios and Fiber One 90 Calorie Brownies at your local Sam’s Club and help decide how half of that contribution will be donated by voting at PinkTogether.com from now until April 14, 2012. General Mills’ donations will be divided between two important Komen programs: the Treatment and Assistance Program, which assists women in securing care they otherwise may not be able to afford, and Prevention Research, which helps unlock the keys to preventing breast cancer. Voting results will be announced on Mother’s Day 2012.
Giveaway

When I was 7 my mother’s friend passed away from breast cancer. I remember driving her to chemo. She was the first person I ever knew to pass away so that made an impression on me.

Breast cancer has affected three friends in the past year. They’ve encouraged me so much as they fight the disease!

My grandmother had breast cancer and lost both breasts because of it. I was very young and didnt know about it untill i was much older…….My grandmother-in-law found a lump, kept it a secret as to not interrupt vacation plans and sadly lost her fight against it. My mother-in-law was very strong in taking care of her…..this showed me that you really do have to care for yourself first and to pay attention to your body.

My mom is a breast cancer survivor and because she was under 50 years old when it was found, my sister and I have an increased risk so I have faithfully had a mamo every year since my 30th birthday.

My sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer. No one will talk about it. We go visit their parents, and we eat and talk about everything else. I want to know what’s going on, how she is, but I don’t ask because it seems like a taboo subject.
My mom had it almost 20 years ago. But they caught it early and removed her breast and she has needed no further treatment.

My favorite high school teacher and mentor died of breast cancer a few years after I graduated. I will never forget her kindness and determination, and how much she believed in me. I wouldn’t be a writer today if it weren’t for her.
