A new year is the perfect time to make a new commitment
to helping others. And the Destination Diva has a
wonderful organization she's a proud supporter of -- and
she hopes you'll become one too.
I first found Design-her Gals when I was looking for some
personalized stationary. As I was clicking around the site, I
couldn't help but be touched by the story behind the Gal to
Gal foundation. Two friends of the site's founders died
from breast cancer in recent years, and the founders
realized while there are plenty of organizations dedicated
to breast cancer research and education, few focus on
helping those women for whom there's little or no hope.
Stage IV breast cancer is almost always a death sentence.
But helping women diagnosed with Stage IV live their days
to the fullest is the goal of the Gal to Gal Foundation.
Here's what the Foundation says on its Web site:
Over 300,000 patients worldwide will lose their lives to
Stage IV Breast Cancer this year. The Gal to Gal
Foundation identifies, partners with, and provides funding
to existing organizations dedicated to the emotional and
financial well-being of Stage IV Breast Cancer survivors.
The Diva is certainly at that stage in life where it's her
friends, not those of her mother's, that are battling breast
cancer; it's foolish to think that any of us will escape a
brush with the disease, whether personally in through a
close friend.
By supporting the Gal to Gal Foundation, whether through
a cash contribution or by purchasing products on the
Design-her Gals Web site, you can make a difference in
the comfort and care of brave women and their families
who are fighting this disease to the end.
Just click on the Diva and together, we'll make a difference.
