No Princess Fights Alone- Join the Army Against Cancer!

January 23, 2011 By Leticia

No Princess Alone buttonAmie from MammaLoves created this rockin’ button in honor of my friend Susan (aka WhyMommy).

Yes Susan!  My friend who is undergoing a clinical trial to rid her body of cancer in the soft tissue surrounding her lungs and who created an amazing partnership between LympheDIVAs and Crickett’s Answer to provide breast cancer survivors with lymphedema garments. Yes, THAT Susan!

And oh, this isn’t Susan’s first battle with cancer.  It’s actually her fourth.

So it’s fitting that she has this little Lego woman warrior on her desk who she has aptly The Princess-Who-Can-Defend-Herself who lives inside her, fighting cancer with her miniature sword and the new medicines from this clinical trial.

The Princess now adorns a button that I’d love for you to place on your own site to show your support for our growing army.

Just like Amie, Jessica, and Kristen, if you join me in putting this button on your site and leaving a comment before this Wednesday, I’ll donate $1 for every comment to Crickett’s Answer so more lymphedema garments can find their way to people who need them.

Join us! Kick Cancer’s Ass

 
Now go visit Susan’s site and read “Us Lucky,” a truly amazing post about a the kind of day that is hard for any parent but is so touching thanks to her beautiful writing.
Love you Susan!  🙂

***And if you have already placed the button on your site and commented on Amie’s post,  yes, you may comment here as well in order for your comment to raise another $1 for Crickett’s Answer.

Thanks for reading Tech Savvy Mama through your feed!

    thank you for doing this for Susan and for the Cricketts Answer drive for lymphodiva sleeves for all who need them and can’t afford them. Although I live in New Zealand under a different healthcare system and funding I am another Inflammatory Breast Cancer fighter/survivor and I know how important these sleeves are to a lot of us with lymphodema issues

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
