In the Pink: Living Beyond Breast Cancer

Nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. About 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer in the course of her lifetime. For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. Many of us at Everything But Water have been touched by the disease.

We’re pleased to partner with Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a national organization dedicated to empowering women affected by breast cancer to live as long as possible with the best quality of life.

LBBC offers free access to accurate, easy-to-understand information, education and support programs to women in all stages of the disease – from newly diagnosed to completed treatment to those living with metastatic cancer. It also assists family members, friends and health care providers.

You can find guides, events, community, workshops and many more resources at www.lbbc.org. Or call the LBBC toll-free survivor hotline at 888.753.LBBC (5222).

To raise awareness and funds, we’re donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of two special items:

Morse code LOVE necklace.

The feminine, intimate necklace sends a powerful, secret message of love and protection. A beautifully designed card tells gift recipients the meaning of the necklace. Handmade by Coatt. Everything But Water will donate 20 percent of the proceeds from each necklace to LBBC. Gold-fill beads on a pink silk cord. $36.

Dr.’s REMEDY Positive Pink enriched nail polish.

A lovely, healthy splash of toxin-free, vitamin-enhanced color for your nails. Everything But Water and Dr.’s REMEDY will donate 20 percent of the proceeds from each polish purchased at an Everything But Water store or online to LBBC. $17.
