[Wellness] You can also be a part of Livestrong Day

["Karen Patterson" <Patterson@womens-wellness.com>]

Hey all,

You do not have to go to Washington to be a part of Livestrong Day on May
16.  You can find out ways to support LAF Livestrong Day by going to their
website  www.livestrong.org  and under get involved you can select
Livestrong Day and it will bring you to ways you can participate.  Also
notice on the home page that you can watch a video of Elizabeth Edwards
speech at the 2006 Summit.

Another way you can help is to go to the site store and purchase a
Livestrong Day T-shirt and yellow wrist bands to wear in support of us on
May 16, 2007.  Here you will also find a free Survivorship Resource for just
the cost of shipping and you can order more than one.  Order a few and bring
the extra copies to your local cancer center, oncologist, surgeons office or
family and friends.  You could leave a note on how others could order their
free resource.  It is quite complete and a great resource.

Thanks for all your nice notes about me attending Livestrong Day as a SC
delegate.  I will make you proud.  My issues are:
	Putting back money into the federal budget for cancer research.  It has
been cut every year by Bush.  We are on the  	cusp of important targeted
treatments and we need funding increased not cut.
	Health Insurance or the lack thereof for some
	Lack of preventative coverage for many tests and procedures or drugs
	The huge amount of physicians listening to drug reps and prescribing
off-label.  I know too many people affected badly   	by drugs being used for
other than what they are FDA approved for.

If there is an issue particularly dear to you please let me know and I will
present it to our representatives on Capitol Hill.  My best regards for
whole wellness,
Karen Patterson, Founder of Womens-Wellness.com and a breast cancer survivor
