Just last week, I had the honor of being a part of ACTNOW – African American Cancer Care Task Team a Project of the G.R.E.E.N. Foundation, 2010 African American Cancer Care Conference.  It was my pleasure to be a part of this event.  This event took place at the UCI Medical Center in Irvine, California.  The event was attended by such groups as the Susan G. Komen Foundation, PAF – Patient Advocate Foundation, Washington DC, the California Ovarian Cancer Awareness Program and many others.  Not only was it an honor to be there with the book, new t-shirts, dolls and all of the Mirror Makeover items, but I met some wonderful people.  The weather turned out to be beautiful, it was a great day and I met many different people and learn many new things.  What more could you ask for in a day?

We set-up early, about 7:30 am and spent the day, til about 5:00pm.  There were many speakers with interesting and helpful information, as we were also invited to attend the seminars and lectures along with the participants of the event.  Not only was all of this worth it, but I was blessed to have my brother come along with me for the day.  He helped set-up camp, and helped others as well (he is a very kind man), and we spent the day meeting new people and visiting and catching up with each other as well, it was all very enjoyable.

I also had the sponsorship of GO GIRL ENERGY DRINK.  GO GIRL is a wonderful new energy drink that donates a percentage of their proceeds to help the fight against Breast and Ovarian Cancer.  GO GIRL donated their drinks for me to give out to the participants of this event!  GO GIRLS generosity was amazing, not only in helping the fight against cancer with proceeds, but in supporting Mirror Makeovers and this event with the donation of their great drinks!  So not only was it a beautiful and warm day, but everyone had something cold and refreshing to keep them on the GO….
