September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
Sarah discovered she had Ovarian Cancer after a routine gynecological check up. She was shocked. She was an active woman in her early 30’s. Fortunately, her cancer was at such an early stage, she required little more than surgery. She’s been fine ever since.
Amanada was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer after grappling with some stomach issues for more than a year. (She didn’t have insurance.) She was shocked when she received her diagnosis. She too was an active woman in her early 30’s. She soon learned the cancer had spread to other parts of her body. She fought a long, hard battle but eventually, her body succumbed.
Two women at about the same age of diagnosis. Two completely different outcomes.
Now you can help support the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). All it takes is a few seconds of your time. The Electrolux and Kelly Ripa are kicking off a unique “Text-a-Thon for a Cause”. Youcan donate $5 to the cause by texting “KELLY” to 85944 from their mobile phones (standard text messaging rates apply) – or by logging on to www.kelly-confidential.com. (Each day you log onto thissite, you are entered for a chance to win a luxury frontload washer and dryer from Electrolux in Turquoise Sky, the color of ovarian cancer awareness.)
During September, visitors to Kelly Confidential can also help spread awareness for this important cause by sending a virtual T-shirt to a friend. For every virtual T-shirt sent, Electrolux will donate $1 to the OCRF. You can also purchase a limited edition T-shirt designed by Ripa; 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the T-shirts will go to OCRF.
(If you’re like me, and try to avoid anything Kelly Ripa-related because you find yourself wanting to slap the “perky” right out of her, please overlook this urge. Because dude, ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.)
And if you want a second chance at winning the same washer and dryer, go to Moms Central’s site too!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Electrolux and received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.
