The American Cancer Society is encouraging people to create a world with more birthdays by staying well, getting well, finding cures, and fighting back against cancer.

You are not alone and you can stay well with your local community to find the best resources and raise hope to live better. Together with the people around you in this organization, you will feel better to celebrate more birthdays and less cancer.
Why We Fight For More Birthdays
We believe every birthday you celebrate is a victory. Another year that cancer has not prevailed. Your birthday means everything to us. That’s why we’re dedicated to creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Thanks in part to our work, 11 million cancer survivors will celebrate another birthday this year. But we can’t stop there. With your help, we can create a world with even more celebrations, more laughter, and more birthdays for all. Join us and Celebrate “more birthdays” by making something to share.

About ACS

The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or finding it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing more than $3.5 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. To learn more about us or to get help, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

In celebration of its 50th birthday, Pampers has recently launched its Little Miracle Missions campaign, a program that delivers acts of kindness to miracles and their families while encouraging parents to support others. The campaign is intended to recognize how much parenting has changed over the years and to share the brand’s belief that every baby is a little miracle that deserves to be celebrated, supported and protected.

Pampers kicked off the Little Miracle Missions campaign by delivering a giant act of support–donating over 30,000 care packages to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) across the country. Celebs Joey Lawrence , Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos and LaLa Anthonywere on-hand in New York City to personally deliver a care package and thank you basket to Mt. Sinai Hospital and their staff.

You can easily participate in the Miracles Missions programs, and support little miracles across the country, by logging on to Pampers Facebook page (Facebook.com/Pampers). Pampers is also asking everyone to pay-it-forward by participating in the first Little Miracle Mission- to congratulate and offer support to an expectant mother with a gift or surprise gesture.  Once more than 2,500 people pledge that they have achieved this mission, Pampers will respond by giving baby showers to expectant mothers nationwide just in time for Mother’s Day. Pampers will issue different missions throughout the entire year to celebrate all aspects of parenthood, and with the help of parents, family and friends, they hope to touch the lives of every baby born in the next year.

Last year, my husband received one letter in the mail box and wanted to help the needy handicapped people especially babies. He gave $200 to our community and I gave $50 Gift card as a token of appreciation. He wants to use it to purchase inhaler for our first son, Jaihari. I am surprised as he never thinks of buying something for himself. My husband will continue support our community every year.

We love this campaign. It’s really touching to watch this video. Make sure you should watch it and you will absolutly love music.

I know everyone will have different story. You can take your challenge to use $50 gift card to celebrate, support or protect a new little miracle if you know or you can spend it to support your parents or family for medical expenses.

A Better Way To Cool Your Laptop:

ThermaPAK’s Patented HeatShift Laptop Cooler is the most effective solution against laptop heat.  In a recent CNET study the HeatShift Laptop Cooler was proven to lower laptop temperature by more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit and significantly outperformed USB cooling fans.  Unlike the fan products that blow dirt and dust at your laptop the grooved channels on the HeatShift laptop cooler enhances airflow.

Not only does the self cooling HeatShift dissipate heat faster and more effectively than alternative products, it uses no power (extends battery life), wires, or refrigeration- making it the most advanced, and eco-friendly laptop cooler you can buy. The HeatShift cools uniformly by using organic cooling crystals that dissipate heat away from your laptop allowing it to perform at its best while keeping your laptop at a safe temperature.  The superior design and performance of the HeatShift Laptop Cooler has received numerous industry awards such as the CES Innovations Design & Engineering Award and the iF Design Award.

Cancer SUCKS!  According to the American Cancer Society the estimated deaths in the United States for 2009 is 562,340 men and women.   The estimated cancer cases is 1,479,350.  Unfortunately, given these numbers you are likely to know someone who has suffered, fought or died from cancer.

My name is Kandi Madden and I own an online baby boutique www.thebabysbundle.com.    I asked fellow bloggers to help me in my efforts to raise money to fight cancer as well as bring awareness regarding cancer to you, their readers.  I am passionate about this cause and am walking in the Relay for Life this October.  This is a link to my home page where you can pledge your support , any amount, no matter how small helps:  http://www.main.acsevents.org/goto/Kandi.Madden .  You may think, what can I do that will make a difference in the fight for cancer.  I have listed some valuable resources for you to check out and share with those you know.  Together, each of us doing our part, we CAN make a difference!
1.  For starters educate ourselves about cancer.  The American Cancer society is a great place to start to get invaluable information http://www.cancer.org
2.  We can take better care of ourselves and the environment.  To find out more facts on this subject visit: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PRO/content/PRO_1_1_2002_Fact_Sheets.asp?
3.  We can make sure we visit our doctors on a regular basis to get the appropriate screening tests.  American Cancer Society Guidelines for the Early Detection of Cancer:  http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ped/content/ped_2_3x_acs_cancer_detection_guidelines_36.asp
4.  We can get involved by donating, advocating, participating and volunteering.

I too have been affected by this disease.  My mother had colon cancer.  My father had bladder cancer. My sister had cervical cancer.  My husband has had melanoma.  My brother in-law’s cancer started in his throat and in a matter of 3 months consumed his body and took his life.  Currently a family friend found out he had cancer in his kidney.  His kidney has since been removed but the cancer continues.  Unable to find the source the prognosis is not good.  You can read more about his journey at his family blog: http://www.jlaabram.blogspot.com/
My hope is to raise cancer awareness and to raise money to fight against this disease.  I have created a new product line called ‘Clips for a Cure’ .  These  hair clips are made with various colors denoting a specific cancer or purple for cancer in general.  Clips are fashionable and are made with quality ribbons and clips.  They are great for girls of all ages.  100% of the sales will go toward fighting cancer.  They are reasonably priced at $5 each and are FREE to ship just use code: Relay (please note free shipping is only applicable when purchasing Clips for a Cure or Peace..Love..Awareness necklace).

I am also offering an exclusive, one of a kind, designed specifically for The Baby’s Bundle, Peace..Love..Awareness Necklace.  This gorgeous necklace was designed by jewelry designer, Becci Kerry of www.something2bragabout.com.  The necklace and all the charms are  made of sterling silver.  The charms are dainty and a perfect way to show your support and spark awareness to others when they ask about what you are wearing!  Peace..Love..Awareness Necklace’s are $40 each $20 will go toward fighting cancer.
