The Susan Sandoval Foundation for Ovarian Cancer was created to increase awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors for ovarian cancer as well as other gynecologic cancers (uterine, cervix, vulvar, vaginal and fallopian tube). The goals of the foundation are to educate and improve the care of women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers and focus on innovative research in this field. Susan Sandoval was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer in May 2005 and died May 2007, at the age of 50. She worked as a nurse at LDS and Primary Children’s hospitals for 21 years. She had many friends, talked passionately about patient care and rights, and had incredible strength within her to always look at the positive in life and make the best of every day.
In 2007, the Foundation hosted the inaugural Susan Sandoval Run for Ovarian Cancer. This event raised over $13,000 and had over 400 runners and walkers.
In 2008, with the help of our sponsors, we hope to raise over $20,000 and have more than 500 runners and walkers. The race will be held on September 13th, 2008 at Sugarhouse Park.
The proceeds from the race will be used to increase awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors for ovarian cancer as well as other gynecologic cancers (uterine, cervix, vulvar, vaginal and fallopian tube); and, also, to support innovative research in prevention, early detection, and treatment of gynecologic cancer.
I love it when I find ways to do two of the things I am passionate about at once…. Shop and Fight Cancer! In case you want to do the same thing… here are a couple new sites that I have just found out about…
~ FatCyclist.com – If you are into cycling, or just like wearing the apparel, order the 2009 Fat Cyclist jersey. From what I understand, the proceeds go to help in the site owner’s wife’s fight against cancer. Get one here - http://www.fatcyclist.com/2008/07/08/special-dark-2009-fat-cyclist-jersey-unveiled/
~ Ford has gotten in on the Fight for a Cure (with the Susan G Komen Foundation) – Check out their site at http://www.fordvehicles.com/warriorsinpink/
You can enter to win the Warrior in Pink Mustang (or buy one yourself), nominate someone as a beautiful warrior, or just buy some adorable new apparel. I may just do all three!!
And I don’t know about you… but I really love that “Warrior Cap”, and several of the t-shirts, and the hoody, and the woven scarf!! Check them all out - http://www.shopwarriorsinpink.com/default.cfm?fuse=home

~We had the Race for the Cure on Saturday morning which was great, as always. From what I hear there were roughly 16,000 participants here in
~ A couple weeks ago there was a huge pet adoption fair that we stopped by to play with some of the puppies and check out all the cute dogs. This past weekend we decided to do that again – so we stopped by the adoption fair they were having in the parking lot at IKEA. There weren’t very many dogs there and we were happy to hear that a few had already found new homes. We enjoyed meeting cute little Pacino and Cody and playing with them for a bit. They were such sweet little puppies! Being the dog lovers that we both are, we have a really hard time seeing the dogs in those little cages and if we could, we would take them all home! We hope that they all find loving homes soon!
It's that time of year again.... when we head out to all sorts of cancer walks, fundraisers, etc. It's such a great way to take advantage of the gorgeous spring weather! And help some VERY good causes at the same time!
So.... on May 10th, we are Racing for the Cure!
Cancer is a disease that I think has affected every person I know in one way or another.... so let's fight it! Let's get rid of it! Why not start with fighting breast cancer on May 10th?
If you don't feel like walking, you can even register to "Sleep In For the Cure" and they will mail you a T-shirt. Haha!
Anyway, if you can't make it, please consider contributing... every little bit helps!

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say, 'Hi'
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.

| Description: | The Salt Lake City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure presents the 2007 Taste for the Cure Place: Kimball Distributing Time: 5:00PM to 9:00PM Cost: $40.00/person pre-registration; $50.00 at the door Additional wine and beer tasting tickets available ($20 for wine class, $15 for beer class--*see descriptions below) Register for ths event online: Taste for the Cure Online Registration Tickets also available at any Wild Oats Marketplace. This event will showcase:
Sustainable Farming, Sustainable Wine...Sustainable Life. This class is designed to educate the attendee on the virtues of sustainable farming. By practicing environmentally friendly farming we yield truer flavors. The sense of place is realized and authentic wines are created. Wines we will taste: Bonterra, Frogs Leap, King Estate and Fetzer. The class will be taught by Joe Padilla. Joe has been in the wine and hospitality industries for 20 years. He has worked as a Manager, Chef and Sommelier, as well as, owned a restaurant in Salt Lake City. After closing his restaurant he opened a wine brokerage which was absorbed by Young's Market Company, which represents over 300 wineries. Young's was established in 1888 in California and is one of the largest wine and spirits wholesalers in the United States. *Beer Tasting Class 6:00pm (separate ticket required-$15/person) UTAH BREWERS COOPERATIVE Dan Burick the brewmaster at Utah Brewers Cooperative will lead a tasting of 4 beers: Wasatch Pumpkin Ale, Squatters Organic Amber Ale, Wasatch 1st Ammendment Lager and Squatters Full Suspension Pale Ale. We'll also have a general discussion on what beer is, what ingredients are used to make it and about the brewing process. Utah Brewers Cooperative was created in 2000 by the separate owners of Wasatch Beers and Squatters Beers. Both sets of owners, having been friends for years, were tired of being competitors on the streets. So they cam together to create a brewery to make both lines of beers for the public under one roof. The economics of bringing the two together was pure genius and has been a total success. The pubs are still run by the separate owners, but all come together for the co-op. All proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure with 75% of the funds remaining in Utah to fund breast cancer education, treatment and screening programs. The other 25% of the net proceeds is sent to Komen headquarters to fund their Research Grants Award program. For more information please contact the "Taste" committee at: | |
