Good Friends and a Great Cause

Hi Friends! Happy Monday! As I write this I'm drinking Starbucks Hot Chocolate (it's coooold here in Boston) and trying to wake up from a super fun weekend filled with bachelorette festivities and catching up with good friends. Take a look at the gorgeous bachelorette, Kerstin and my friend Mahmood and Erin's adorable dog, Belle.

I also thought that it was time I write about the great cause I'm swimming for. Although I'm sad I won't be able to participate in the actual walk in NYC this year, I'm glad I'm still able to support the cause. Here are some facts:

WHAT: A 5K Run and 5K Walk, Health Expo and Finish Line Festivities
WHEN: Saturday, April 30, 2011 - One Week before Mother's Day Weekend
WHERE: Begins in Times Square and finishes in Central Park
WHO: 20,000 dedicated men, women and children
WHY: To raise awareness and critical funds for women's cancers research, treatment, counseling and outreach programs.
BACKGROUND: Created in 1993 through the committed and collective efforts of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, Lilly Tartikoff and Ronald O. Perelman, the EIF REVLON Run/Walk For Women has grown to become one of the nation's largest 5K fundraising events. To date, the Run/Walks (in Los Angeles and New York) have distributed over $60 million dollars for cancer research, treatment, counseling and outreach programs. Thanks in part to these funds, new treatments are being developed and lives are being saved.


If you are in NYC and would like to participate in the walk, register here. If you are not able to participate but would still like to donate to this amazing cause, please click on the "donate now" button on the top right of my page.
