Tea for Teal 2012

Back  in 2009, I was asked by some lovely ladies to be part of an organization called the Anne Rita Monahan (ARM) Foundation.   I was told it was to help  to “ARM” women in the fight against ovarian cancer.  At the time,   I didn't think I would bring much value to the group since I knew little about the disease.  Little did I know, that two months later ovarian cancer would be knocking on my door step.  2009 my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  I learned REAL quick about this horrendous disease.    Immediately, I had a "TEAL" team supporting and educating me about ovarian cancer.  

The Anne Rita Monahan Foundation was established by its namesake, a heroic ovarian cancer fighter.  Sadly, Anne lost her battle on May 13, 2009, but her vision to educate women on the warning signs of ovarian cancer lives on with her foundation.  I never had the opportunity meet Anne but she has inspired so many ladies including myself to fight for  this disease.  

Please join us in the fight against Ovarian Cancer.  In a few months is the ARM foundation's 4th Annual Tea For Teal Event where they raise money for ovarian cancer research.   In past years, this event was held in February, but this year it was moved to September, which is Ovarian Awareness Month.   Tea for Teal is such a classy event with a fabulous auction, hats, tea, scones, and inspiring speakers.  It's definitely an event you must attend.   Click here to sign up!   If you can't attend we can also take donations or raffle items.

In regards to my own mother, she's been in remission since 2009 and is constantly fighting for her life daily.  Being in remission doesn't mean you're safe it's a constant battle to keep your body strong and healthy.  I'm just thankful to have her in my life every day and cherish all our moments.  

Please help in supporting this cause and I hope to see you at the TEA FOR TEAL!
