Save the Ta-Tas....Badass Ta-Tas

I have been fortunate so far to never have experienced this horrible disease personally, but as a woman this is a cause very near and dear to my heart. That’s why I decided to write this blog. To help raise awareness, and hopefully even more money to help fund research for this disease.


Here are just a few facts about breast cancer:

1. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among American women after skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer.
2. The left breast is statistically more prone to developing cancer than the right breast. Scientists are unsure why.
3. In the U.S., an average of 112 women die of breast cancer every day, or one every 15 minutes.
4. The U.S. has the most cases of breast cancer in the world.
5. Only 5-10% of breast cancers occur in women who have a genetic predisposition for this disease.
6. There are currently 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the U.S.
7. Women age 40 and older should have screening mammograms every 1 to 2 years.

These are only a very small amount of facts about breast cancer, frightening as they are. Education is definitely one of the keys to help fight this disease, but also just as important are donations. Donations made by every day people like you and me.

Save The Ta-Tas brand commits 5% of every sale to the Save The Ta-Tas Foundation, and they assure that a donation is commited regardless. They calculate their donation by the actual sale price, not the profits made, and they are used primarily to support independent scientific research. You can read more about why they are special here: http://www.savethetatas.org/why-we-are-special/.

Save The Ta-Tas brand is also a fun way to show your support for the cause to the world. This is why I strongly stand behind the efforts of the Save The Ta-Tas brand and foundation.

My favorite item right now is the black Badass Ta-Tas tank, because really…how many of us think we have some badass ta-tas, right? And because I love this tank so much, I will be giving one away to one of my very lucky followers with the help of Save The Ta-Tas brand. You can find other items here: www.savethetatas.com.

Also, because I believe so much in their efforts to help find a cure, I have purchased 4 of the Badass Ta-Tas magnets, on my own, to also give away. They’ve already been ordered, that’s how strongly I believe in them. And really, it’s a small price to pay if it’ll help find a cure for breast cancer one day.

I would love to hear from everyone regarding this blog and this awful disease, whether you have your own personal story you’d like to share, or just want to show your support for women worldwide who are fighting this disease every day. And please, don't forget to include your email address if you want to be entered to win either that badass tank or one of the 4 badass magnets at the end of the month!  Together we can beat this!
