Tag4Cancer.com – iPad 2 Giveaway
This post brought to you by BeeWell for Life. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you read about my Less Stress Challenge a few weeks ago, you know that I’ve committed to renew my effort to taking care of myself: mind, body and spirit. I’m excited to learn about a new website BeeWell for Life, by Bumblee Bee. At BeeWell for Life they’re also dedicated to a healthy, active lifestyle.
I look forward to exploring the Bee Delicious portion of BeWell for Life more. It looks like it will be a great resource for new nutritious and tasty lunch ideas, which is something that I am working on right now.
Bumble Bee is taking initiative to lead the way with its charitable contributions increase breast cancer awareness with their Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization™ partnership. Walk and Bee the Difference: For every mile you walk, run or cycle and log on www.beewellforlife.com, and Bee Well for Life will donate $0.10/mile to the Y-ME National Breast Cancer organization. That’s something that will motivate me to exercise more!
I don’t have some amazing personal story about breast cancer and how it’s affected my life and the life of a close family member, but I encourage you to read this post from a few months ago on my friend Jamie’s blog My Baking Addiction where she shared her experience with a breast cancer scare. Please remember to take care of yourself.

I am inspired by the memories of my mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 30 and lost her battle with the disease at the age of 33. Her courage, strength and love still inspire me today–over 25 years later. I am also inspired by my brother. He was diagnosed with brain cancer 6 months ago. He is determined to overcome this battle and I know that if anyone can, he can and he will. Cancer has been my least favorite word most of my life. I believe that a cure will be found and I do all that I can to spread awareness and to promote and support this cause. I eat organic foods and exercise is a party of my daily life. I believe in being strong–body, mind and spirit! =)

She instantly becomes friends with people. She also has developed a very close relationship with God that is truly inspiring. I just adore her!
[Reply]
my mother, two time cancer survivor, who is just a few days shy of 100 days post-stem cell transplant to cure her leukemia, is the most amazing woman i have ever known. Not a day goes by that I don’t need her – whether it’s advice, a recipe suggestion, words of wisdom, a gardening tip, or just a loving mother’s ear. She makes a choice every day to do what needs to be done to make it through the day, and that is admirable.

Hello My name is Christopher, I’m 18years of age fighting with Osteosarcoma cancer. I have lost my right leg at the knee and continues to fight with cancer. My friend Janice Colson is a inspiration to me because she has fought and won breast cancer. So everyday I look up to her and know that I will win this battle. I have my ups and downs. Good and bad days, but all I do it remember 1 Corinthians 10:13 God will never give you more than you can handle, and if its more than you can, he will lift it up off your shoulders so you may stand under it in victory! Thanks so much for reading!

My grandfather. Throughout my life, he aided me with music, and quickly became my mentor. Though he battled until his last breath, he passed away from liver, bone, and prostate cancer in 2009. From that day, I have worked to advocate the importance of cancer research and good health. I started an American Cancer Society Youth Club at my high school and participated in a cancer research program at a local university. Because of all the suffering I see in those around me, I am pursuing to be a pediatric oncologist. To set a good example for my patients, I decided that it was time for me to lose weight. In the past three months, I have lost 40 pounds and am nearing the healthy weight for my height. The people around me inspire me to eat healthy and exercise in order to avoid health complications in the future.
