October is National Brest Cancer Awareness Month
We all know the need for medical research to prevent and cure disease, and when someone has fought the battle and survived a disease, the need and urgency just comes into sharper focus. Ouidad knows the battle that millions of women fight each year with breast cancer. She herself is a survivor.
In 2002 Ouidad was diagnosed with breast cancer, the same disease that took her mother’s life. While she was treated, and recovered, she vowed to continue the battle in support of all women. So in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Ouidad’s Curls for a Cure partner, will be very busy!

Ouidad’s goal is to raise $100,000 this year for research, to add to the quarter million dollars raised since the Curls for a Cure organization began. To help this effort, Ouidad and Curls for a Cure will match your donations – dollar-for-dollar – up to a total matching contribution of $50,000 for 2009 alone!

The statistics on breast cancer are staggering; Ouidad wants to change those numbers, and you can help. Donations can be made directly online, or even as an add-on to your shopping basket during check-out, while making a purchase. Let’s work together with Curls for a Cure to help end breast cancer and save women’s lives.
