If you’re new to our blog, we’re Laurie & Nikki. We are two women in Dallas walking in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day in November 2008. We believe that we can see a cure to this horrible disease in our lifetimes, and it is our goal to do all we can to help raise awareness and funds. Our goal is to raise $6000 before the walk. We are over halfway there, and that’s why we created this blog. If you feel inclined, please make a donation to help end breast cancer forever. If you found us via the quarterly Bloggy Giveaways read below for instructions on how to win a t-shirt from one of our favorite supporters.

We are also giving away a Save the Tatas t-shirt. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. One comment per person, IP address, and e-mail address please. This is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada only. We will draw the winner after midnight on Saturday, August 2. We will contact the winner for their address.

No donation is necessary to enter and it will not increase your chances… but we will love you a little extra!

*edit* Congratulations to our winner, Charlotte, from http://owllovetostamp.blogspot.com! Here was her winning entry:

Ok, I’m entering this for my friend Gale. She had breast cancer, and she’s got an amazing attitude. She would love this shirt! Thanks for the chance to win.

Check out this fun site I found on Lifetime.com where you can create a character and support the fight against breast cancer. Want to see mine? My “bra ID” is 561163. Have fun!

You all know by now that I love Save the Ta-Tas for the witty and sassy t-shirts, hats, bags and other items. I also discovered Save 2nd Base that also has a great line of breast cancer awareness items with a fun and humorous spin. Check out the cute t-shirt below. It’s $20, and 50% of the proceeds go to The Kelly Rooney Foundation.

The Kelly Rooney Foundation was established to eradicate breast cancer in young women. Through cutting-edge research, comprehensive awareness campaigns, and education programs, the Foundation will focus intently on breast cancer prevention in young women and the unique challenges they face when diagnosed with breast cancer.

Kelly lost her 4 year battle with breast cancer in 2006. Her story is heartbreaking. She left behind a loving husband and five young children. This is one of the many reasons that it is so important to fnd a cure to this terrible disease. I never want to read another story about a mother’s life being cut short, and a family having to grow up without her.
