If you can’t run with the “big” dogs… Stay on the porch!

I had so much fun training my dogs for the Humane Society's Run with the Dogs benefit.
All the furry friend's brought out their owners to do something good for their friends in need. Everyone donated an entry fee to the Humane Society of Saline County. The racers got fun prizes and the Humane Society raised some much needed money.

I know my dogs were proud of me for coming out to help their friends. We all had a lot of fun making new friends and also helping out our community.

I am so proud to report my little ChiChi, hip replacement and all, came in FIRST PLACE for the small breed category! She is a wonderful example of how hard work and determination will get us all to the finish line.

American Heart Association Women’s Show 2010

I was so happy to attend the Arkansas Women’s Show. So many women came out to learn about heart health specifically for women and how important it is to learn your numbers. With the power of education and early detection we can prevent one more woman from falling victim to the number one killer of American women.

There were also a lot of companies that brought products specifically geared for women and
making our lives easier!  The American Heart Association also provided free screenings, so any woman could leave knowing their numbers and take the steps to being as heart healthy as possible.

There were also a few celebrities, Miss. International and somebody else y'all might recognize. Paula Dean!  How cool is that! I wish I could have stayed long enough to meet her. Wonder if she was going to cook a heart healthy meal...HA!

My Baby is a Centerfold

I was just recently awarded the centerfold in SEEK magazine!!! Get your minds out of the gutter. This magazine is Looking Beyond Cancer's Limits and they look deeper into new treatments and possible cures. The latest issue is featuring the Look Good... Feel Better Program that I was able to implement at UAMS this past year. The more locations Look Good...Feel Better is available, more women can be helped.

The article is called More Than Just A Pretty Face and you can click HERE to read the article.

Women are so much more than just a pretty face, especially women with cancer. The women that I have meet through the Look Good...Feel Better Program have been incrediablly inspiring and are unbelievably BEAUTIFUL!

NO women should have to go through cancer treatment, but if you do always remember you are more than Just a Pretty Face and you are always welcome at The Look Good...Feel Better Program.

Relay for Life 2010

These events are so important! Not only because they recognize over 11 million cancer survivors, but they also educate the public about advances being made in cancer research and raise a lot of cash to furthur research and other programs.  Most people think these events are serious and stuffy, but we have a lot of fun!

I haven't got the totals for the entire event, but we had a great time!!! I was even able to raise $15.00 for my Jail Bail! LOL!

During all this fun we had a survivor banquette, which was a amazing and the food was delish! 

I was very honored to be the guest speaker, but I suprised myself.  I was up at the microphone spouting out facts and reasons why we should all volunteer at the American Cancer Society and I said something that has changed the way I look at my volunteering.

The American Cancer Society has been around for 97 years! NINETY-SEVEN years! Then I thought about what has changed in 97 years. We have made so many advances in technology that have changed all of our lives, but we have still not found a cure for cancer.  That is so sad, but it makes me want to do more to help!  I am not a doctor or a research scientist, but I can take one woman at a time and make them look like a million bucks! The Look Good... Feel Better Program is so much more than make up and hair, it truely gives women who are fighting for their lives a much needed confidence boost.

See, you don't have to dontate thousands of dollars or have a PhD to make a difference.  I bring my make up brushes and curling irons to the table, what are you going to bring?  Make a difference now, let's not wait another 97 years.

Everyone has a talent that could help get us closer to the cure.
