One reason that I am really interested in raising money for the American Cancer Society is because I have benefitted first hand from the publications and programs that ACS provides funding for.....not to mention that the money will go to research which I know I have benefitted from!
One day, if one of my loved ones finds out they have breast cancer, I want them to be able to read this blog and benefit from the things I've learned. I'll come back to this post and add more resources when I can.

American Cancer Society - I have a basket FULL of information that the ACS has provided to me - I have devoured the information in them and am thankful to have more booklets than I can handle right now...

When I went in for my chemo education class, I remember the Nurse, Mrs. Ann, opening a cabinet that had over 20 boxes in it....each one was labeled with a type of cancer - thyroid, breast, bone, etc., and they were filled with brochures and information for patients....it feels so good to know there's such a network out there....funded by donations.
Wanna donate? Today's the last day to get your donation to count for this season's big event!
