According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer within her lifetime.
Two years ago one of those eight women was my mother. And while she's doing wonderfully today it's become my personal mission to support breast cancer research and raise awareness. Which is why supporting companies like Yoplait is crucial as they've donated more than $22 million to the breast cancer cause through Save the Lids.
For every pink lid mailed in by December 31, 2009, Yoplait will donate $0.10 to the Susan G. Komen for the cure, up to $1.5 million with a guaranteed minimum donation of $500,000.
It's easy to help. You can visit Yourlidmatters.com to create online lid collection teams and engage and inspire your friends family and colleagues to join the cause.
And to one of my readers I offer a "Promise to Make a Difference" gift pack* which includes a free coupon for Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt, a breast cancer awareness bracelet and a leather jewelry case as pictured above.
If you'd like to win this great gift pack simply leave me a comment telling me how you support breast cancer awareness and or research and you'll be entered to win. One winner will be selected at random from all comments received by November 2.

Breast Cancer awareness is a cause near and dear to my heart. My lovely Mother died of Breast Cancer at the young age of 49 when I was just 19. I give to several Breast Cancer related charities and I walk in the 5k race for the cure.

I had breast cancer two years ago, but am now declared healthy. We all know how quickly it can come back. All we can do for the cure is great.
