As most of you already know, I work for the
University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the Breast Medical Oncology department. I currently work with four Research Nurses (9 nurses since my employment), who have helped guide me in my career. I've been working in cancer research for 9 years, with 6 solely focused on the terrible disease we all know as Breast Cancer.
Several years ago my Aunt, Lupe Flores, passed away to this terrible disease; a devastating loss to a beautiful family to say the least. They miss her everyday, but together we have managed to look to the future in making sure we support the cause.
Over the years I have seen people die to this terrible disease, leaving me heartbroken beyond repair, and I can't imagine what it's like for the families who go through the turmoils they face everyday. But I've seen countless others survive this disease and this is why I dedicate this post to them.
As of 2007, I have been collecting the Special Edition Chevron Breast Cancer cars. In 2001, Chevron launched a toy car named Hope to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness. Since the launch, the popularity of this car has been astronomical. These cars usually sell out in three months! Luckily for me, I had a nurse who bought me my first one in 2007 and 2008. And ever since then I have been buying the rest. I currently have every issue, minus the very first one. I have them set up in my office and will take a picture of them when I remember to. But for now, here are the cars over the years.
Do your part in help promoting Breast Cancer Awareness by buying a car, walking for the Susan G. Komen foundation, or buying products from companies who donate part or all of their proceeds to research.
With 100 percent of the net proceeds contributed to promote the early detection of breast cancer, I have helped contribute more than $1.8 million by sharing Hope, Faith, Cherish, Promise,
Courage, Spirit, Devotion and Harmonee as a friendly reminder with loved ones affected by the disease.
The National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA) and the dancing queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race will be auctioning off the red ribbon-inspired gowns they wore in a public service announcement back in July. It started on December 1st, but Logo TV, along with eBay, will be auctioning off these dresses until December 11. 
The video is an advertising campaign for the new mobile app, "Your Man Reminder" released by the folks at Rethinkbreastcancer.com.
