As you know – October is National Breast Cancer month and it does seem that the whole country turns pink!

This year we have decided to enlist Girlfriendology and our girlfriends in a very special organization, the Gal to Gal Foundation – one of the few international non-profits who dedicate 100% of their resources to Stage IV breast cancer patients and their families. For those of you who are not familiar – Stage IV is the most critical stage of this insidious disease and at this time is considered incurable.

The Gal To Gal Foundation partners with other organizations to help grant wishes and supply support resources for those in this difficult stage of their lives. It is their goal to raise $250,000 during the month of October and with our help they can do it!

Beginning October 1 – 31^st – we want you to join us on a “virtual walk” across America to raise funds and awareness for patients in Stage IV. Our efforts will help grant over 100 wishes this holiday season. Everything from trips for the family, off-setting medical expenses, special beds, and even video cameras! It only takes a few minutes to join and it is fun!
