As many of you know October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month". As someone who has been touched by the disease in many different ways I try to support the cause as much as possible. I had a dear friend who lost the battle and left behind a loving husband, children and grandchild, and she was only in her 40's at the time. I also have family members who've battled the disease and thankfully won! I myself had a scare in my mid 30's several years ago where I found a lump. Luckily I had very good doctor's who immediately ordered both an ultrasound and a mammogram. I am very fortunate that it turned out to be Fybrocystic Breast Disease and was not cancer, but it's still important to continue to be checked on a regular basis as this condition can often mask lumps that are cancerous or pre-cancerous, so be sure to ALWAYS do your self-exams and any scheduled Mammograms!!
I have two Designs I have created specifically for Breast Cancer Awareness and Funding for the Cure, the first is a painting called "Hope". The original was auctioned off two years ago and 100% of the proceeds were donated to Christina Applegates foundation "Right Action for Women" that helps fund mammograms for women who can't afford it. I have Signed 8"x10" prints in my Etsy shop available as well as items on Zazzle. 100% of my profit from sales of the "Hope" print go to Chrstina Applegate's Foundation "Right Action for Women".
My newest Breast Cancer Ribbon Design is also available for purchase on my Website and Zazzle; 50% of my profit from any items sold during the month of October featuring my Pink Ribbon Design will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This design is available in 2 different signed 8"x10" prints, jewelry and licensed products found on my Website. I also have several different variations of the Ribbon Design on products in my Zazzle shop and will be adding more items over the next few days!
It's so important to stay on top of this disease and support the funding and search for a cure in any way we can. Please show your support and help raise awareness by purchasing a MADART Breast Cancer product and wearing it or showing it off proudly!!
