LIVESTRONG DAY OCTOBER 2ND, 2010



This is my LIVESTRONG bracelet, which I wear to raise the awareness of cancer and to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation. LIVESTRONG DAY, for those of you who don't know, is a movement of approximately 1,500 individuals and organizations taking action globally, nationally and locally in the fight against cancer, with the 2010 theme being the “global cancer crisis.”It was started by Lance Armstrong to bring awareness to cancer and bring it to the forefront. To commemorate the event,  Winos and Foodies, have a food blogging event, LIVESTRONG with a Taste of  Yellow.2010, Heart Series, which supports the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Food and Wine bloggers around the world can share their stories, and celebrations, as well as sad times. Participants will make a food or drink containing   yellow food  This will be my first time participating in the even, but I haven't decided what I'll make for that special day., only that it will in memory of my Mom, who  passed away 3 yrs ago with multiple myeloma, as one of the contributing factors.. All the details are at Winos and Foodies blog.  If cancer has touched you or any loved one, or friends, please participate on LIVESTRONG DAY,  October 2nd, in Taste of Yellow, 2010.

  3. My pleasure! I wanted to raise cancer awareness and LIVESTRONG DAY with my blogger friends. I'm a 14 yr, melanoma survivor and cancer has ravaged my family and friends.
