Keeping Moving, prevent cancer

Gentle Reader,

In 2006, I found the Breast Cancer Fund and climbed Mt. Shasta with them. Always looking for ways to enjoy movement to keep the arthritis pain and aching knees and hips from slowing me down, I decided to train for and attempt summitting this 14,120 ft snow covered peak in northern California.  If was the ultimate "Keep Moving" scenario, believe me.  Now the Breast Cancer Fund is sponsoring a 5 K, half Marathon right here in Seattle, (and all around the country.) I'll be there participating in the Strong Voices booth.

This organization advocates for change by lobbying, teaching and working to eliminate the known and possible environmental causes of Breast Cancer.  My passion is teaching people how to prevent disease by using non-cancer causing items in their kitchen, bathroom, camping and elsewhere in their work and home spaces.  As important understanding how the food we eat can trigger cancer or contribute to ill health.

If you would like to participate this coming Saturday here in Seattle, it's not too late to join in.

Here's the info:


The Breast Cancer Fund is thrilled to be the national nonprofit partner of the See Jane Run Women's Half Marathon and 5K Race Series! Looking to run or walk for a cause?
It's not too late to join Jane next weekend and turn breast cancer awareness into action for prevention:
