Please read Nancy’s support of Breast Cancer Awareness and why. Her letter made me cry. elke

Breast Cancer Awareness and supporting the BCRF is a cause that is very personal to me. Throughout daily in October, there will be a featured pink product, many of them featuring Lauder brands. On the sidebar of my blog, I’ve included the the BBN Chip In widget I will be running a contest at the end of the month using some of the products from the EL pink bag I received.

I’m blogging pink in honor of my mom, who passed away from breast cancer. This is also why I am so committed to the Estee Lauder brand and am so grateful for their partnership in October with the BBN. My mom was seeing an oncologist at the Mayo Clinic and had received many different cancer treatments, as she was participating in clinical trials. She was so brave. I had read that there was a center within the Mayo Clinic where you could go and beauticians were on hand to fit you with a wig. I convinced my mom that we should at least check it out. When we went there, the staff couldn’t have been more supportive. They fitted my mom with a wig (she had lost much of her hair and although she was self conscious, she was too proud to admit that she “needed” one). They also came out with a box of cosmetics– all Estee Lauder brands. The first thing my mom did was pick up a lipstick and apply it. My eyes met hers in the mirror and she said “I think it’s going to be ok, now.” That box of cosmetics got my mom through a very difficult day and through many more. I wish I knew the
person at their Corporate office that I could thank and tell them how much that meant to me and my mom.

That’s why the BCRF is so important to me, also.

That’s why I blog pink in October.
