TUESDAY TIPS: Blogs Anyone?

Three items for today:

1. Yesterday I met with two wonderful women from The Rack Pack Foundation - a group here in Utah, dedicated to helping women recover from breast cancer. They provide bags full of goodies for women going through treatment, and they brought 5 bags to me - I'm excited to give these bags to the 5 women in our group who are currently going through treatment. I recently told you about The Rack Pack Foundation - they are the group that is sponsoring the Pilates in the Park event on June 25th. I encourage all of you to attend it! I'll be there myself. They are currently trying to win a grant from the LiveStrong Foundation, to set up a 6-week recovery program here in Utah. They are in the lead right now, but need votes. The voting ends on the 31st of May, so we have only one week to make a difference - if you have a minute, please go to the following link and vote for them.

http://vote.livestrong.org/applicants/102-the-christi-anderson-rack-pack-foundation/

YOU CAN VOTE ONCE PER DAY, so please try to vote each day until the 31st. And, please share the link with your friends and family. Have them vote as well. This program will benefit all the survivors in Utah. Thank you!

2. Just found a freebie for you survivors - if you'd like to try a natural deodorant, go to Happy Chemo! and you'll find a place on their home page to sign up to get a FREE sample.

3. I know I've talked to some of you about your blogs, and promised to list them on our blog list here. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I've got a constant case of Chemo Brain! And, if your blog is not listed, it's because I've forgotten the address, or I've forgotten where I wrote the info down. :-)

All I can say is "Sorry!" If you have a blog about your cancer journey, and you'd like to share it with our readers - if you feel like it could help anyone - please leave a comment and let me know the address of your blog. I'd be happy to put it in our blog list (left sidebar). If you read blogs about cancer that you really enjoy, and think they would be helpful to our readers, leave me a comment with the name and address of the blog. Also, if there are any websites that we haven't listed on our blog (right sidebar), that you feel would be helpful for our readers, please leave a comment with the website address.

I appreciate your help. I'll continue to add blogs and websites when I come across them. And, don't forget to take some time and visit the blogs and websites we've got listed - hopefully you can find something that will be of help or interest.
