A friend of mine's sister is a finalist for a competition being held by Prevention Magazine. She's a breast cancer survivor (first in a whole family of breast cancer survivors), and wants to educate more women about the need for checkups and exams so they can avoid the ultimate side effect of breast cancer.

A note from my friend...

Quoting Julann Vittone :

Hello everyone -



My sister Janet is one of the 5 finalists in the Prevention magazine contest. If she wins 2 things will happen: 1 - she'll be donating $5,000.00 to Susan G. Komen Foundation and 2 - she'll be the October Prevention Magazine guest editor.



My sister Janet wants to educate people about breast cancer. October is breast cancer awareness month. I think it would be wonderful for her to win. Just think of all the lives she can touch.



VOTE for Julann’s sister *Your vote can raise $5,000.00 for Susan G. Komen Foundation*.. If you delete your cookies you can vote more than 1 time per pc.



Please have ALL your friends and co-workers vote for Janet at this link



http://blogs.abcnews.com/picturefina...et_vitt_1.html



Thank you for your support!!!



Julann



The link leads to Janet's brief story and a link where you can vote. Please take a minute and cast a vote.

*edit* BTW, someone else has pointed out to me that the tidbit above about cleaning your cookies to vote again may not exactly be fair. I agree, but I sent along Julann's note as she wrote it. Let your conscience be your guide.

Thanks!

Done. Janet's running 3rd right now with 1680 votes, behind Kate Adamson-Klugman (1707) and BJ Reed (2045). Voting runs till May 25th so she's still got some time to catch up.

I'm going to piggyback on this thread & put in a plug for www.thebreastcancersite.com . Go there, click a button, and sponsors donate $$ based on the number of clicks generated each day. Can't get much simpler than that...
