YES...I am asking you for money :)

I don't know if some of yall recognize that girl...that's a girl who only one week from when this picture was taken was diagnosed with breast cancer, had surgery, and her first round of some pretty intense chemotherapy drugs. That's a girl who was snuggling up with her 2 year old and had no clue what their future held. That's a girl who needed someone who had been there and done that...and guess what?? She found that place!


I know that you are asked to donate to all kinds of causes throughout the year. Most of the time when Jonathon and I donate, we support the causes, but don't really have a clue how much or where our dollars go exactly.

I have a special place in my heart for the Breast Cancer Research Center here in town. I never got around to telling you about my experiences with the organization when I was diagnosed because there was so much going on, but when I was diagnosed and contacted them, I was called back IMMEDIATELY and the next morning, a patient navigator came right to me and Jonathon and sat down with us to help us understand surgery, what to expect and what I could do to help prepare myself and my family. It was amazing. And she does this for hundreds of women throughout the year.

The center has also helped me find resources I was in need of and coordinated events that I have attended. The patient navigator is a 'Win the Day' reader and gets in touch with me when there are things that she thinks she can help with and regularly touches base with me. The list of resources that they provide in our community is extensive. And meaningful. There are lots of ways that people can give to breast cancer causes. This one is different from others because they are right on the battlefield with those of us who are fighting the fight. It's a way to give in a way that makes a difference to individual women/men and their families right here and right now. Pretty phenomenal.

Today, March 5th through tomorrow March 6th at 6 pm, is a PERFECT time to make a donation to the BCRC through Amplify Austin...St. David's has sponsored the Center and is sharing $1 million with them and several others prorated by their donation amounts from people like YOU. So it's a fantastic time to get more bang for your buck :)

Services are provided at no cost. A $25 donation from someone is all it took for my first encounter with the BCRC. If you can give, I promise you, it will be an unbelievable gift to someone just like me.

Go HERE and follow the 'Donate Now' link to give.

Thanks BCRC for helping the Kinchens to WIN THE DANG DAY!
Love
