Go Kim Go!

Throughout 2008 and 2009, the Breast Cancer 3 Day event is being hosted in various cities across the country to benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. My sister, Kim Nesvick, is taking on one of these 3 day events, a 60 mile walk, this weekend in Seattle to raise money for breast cancer research. Go Kim Go! So far so good, they survived the first day I hear. Kim created a "team" of friends to participate together on this female power weekend (feel the burn!) Thanks to donations, Kim has raised over $2200 dollars! It may not seem like a lot, but imagine if every person in this Seattle walk, and every person participating across the country in these 3 day walks, pulled in that kind of money, that's a lot of dough for breast cancer research!

Every one has someone they know or love that has battled this disease. I for one, have a best friend from 3rd grade who has battled it 3 times! I'm happy to say she's doing well today with her new baby, but she will always have to be proactive with this disease. Next month is breast cancer awareness month, so let's all try to make a difference and contribute or participate to help stop breast cancer in its tracks. Stacia has always supported the Susan G Komen foundation and will continue to do so. Last year we participated in a Green fashion event on Rodeo Drive to raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation. And now online at shopstacia.com, for every purchase of the Haiku (pink-hued) bamboo scarf top, we will donate proceeds to Susan G. Komen. So do your part, whatever it may be - a 3 day walk or supporting pink-themed products - and let's fight breast cancer together!
