Many of you know that I’ve worked with Unite For HER over the years as one of their Health + Beauty Advisors – but in 2015, with a 2nd Breast Cancer diagnosis, I had to take a step back (from both UFH + the Blog, etc.) to give myself the time I needed to heal.
During that time, I’ve been able to be a recipient of one of their Path to Healing Grants, as well as one of their Passport to Wellness Grants. These Grants help women like me, to get access to a year of Complementary Therapies, like – Medical Acupuncture, Professional Counseling, Sexual Health Counseling After Cancer, Oncology + Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Nutrition Counseling + Local CSA Shares, Healthy Beauty Consultations, Reiki, Yoga Classes, Fitness Memberships + more, ALL at no cost to us.
My Mission
My mission, first + foremost on The Glamorganic Goddess has always been to help others going though the same things I was. In my experience as a young Cancer Survivor… there have always been very limited resources (both informationally + financially) for young women, going through Breast Cancer, especially those of us who’ve chosen a more integrative approach to healing. Nearly 10 years later, things are a little better, but this is one of the main reasons I had an instant connection with Unite for HER, right off the bat.
Unite for Her’s Mission
Unite for HER’s mission is to bridge the gap between the medical + wellness communities, by funding complementary therapies that support the physical + emotional needs of those diagnosed with Breast Cancer, during + after Treatment. They educate Survivors, Pre-vivors + the community about how healthy lifestyle choices can prevent disease, + impact wellness through their website + their many outreach programs.
When people ask me where or how they can Donate to help Breast Cancer Survivors, one of the first things I tell them is to check the organization’s financials. And, you can do that for UFH here. I think this is so important to do with any charity really, because, like many of you – I’ve also done countless walks, + various sales, etc. to raise money for “Awareness”, but quickly realized when I was going through it… that often times it doesn’t get to the right places… especially with many of the larger “Pink Ribbon” organizations. A great clue into this is the movie “Pink Ribbons Inc.” We don’t need anymore brocheures + pamphlets… we need REAL help, that will lead us down a path of SurThriving!
Her Care Boxes
Unite for HER’s Limited Edition HER Care Boxes – feature a range of self-care items, carefully curated by UFH’s Medical + Wellness Advisors to promote healing, that will empower HER emotional + physical well-being during Breast Cancer Treatment, + far beyond.
100% of the proceeds will benefit Unite for HER’s mission to fully-fund + deliver Complementary Therapies to Newly-Diagnosed Women, supporting the physical + emotional wellness of Breast Cancer patients.
