World Cancer Day : Lets Celebrate Purple!

Yesterday was World Cancer Day and this day is an awe-inspiring day because we get to celebrate the loved ones who have fought the battle of cancer. Yesterday was not about what color of ribbon you wear, wristband or even a contest - it's about celebrating. It was a celebration

What am I celebrating, you ask? I celebrated MY life . I celebrated my mother who is a cancer survivor, my cousins, and my friends who have fought the battle as well. 


You might have seen the Chevy commercial during the Super Bowl- they've decided to partner up this year with the American Cancer Society. The partnership with the American Cancer Society is a new campaign to honor people who have fought or are fighting cancer. And this amazing campaign is called Purple Roads, which is basically designed to celebrate the victories of people who fought cancer in the past and who still support those who continue to fight. Go to this link to turn YOUR Facebook or Twitter profile picture- at chevrolet.com/purpleroads to support World Cancer Day! 

Chevrolet will donate $1 to the Society for every Facebook/Twitter user who participates, up to $1 million. Money raised through the Purple Roads campaign will help the Society continue to support quality of life programs and services that help patients and their families manage cancer treatment and recovery and find the emotional support they need.

So, go to the website and get involved and change your profile picture PURPLE.
