Discussing Breast Cancer

More on yesterday’s post about breast cancer and the presidential race:

Enjoy this clilp of the tribute artist MDT as Elvis — completely LIVE, no lip-synching “Rockin’ for the PINK!”

FYI, the February 17th “Rockin’ for the PINK!” event took place in Colorado and raised almost $3000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure!

Good job ya’ll!

Would this commercial ever air in the US? (Yes, it’s your weekend video clip, up early Friday morning!)

Check it out:

A follow up, because we want to know more, right?

I love this. Here’s the explanation:

“MVNU proudly presents the 2008 MVNU Cougars Pink Out, in coordination with Think Pink Week. We invite everyone out to the men’s and women’s basketball games on Tuesday February, 12 starting at 5:30. Wear all pink as we “Pink Out” Walsh University. All proceeds from the event will benefit breast cancer research and awareness.”

I can’t wait to find out how it goes. I’ll keep you posted.

Survivor Olivia Newton John and the band All 4 One performed a “duet” at a breast cancer fundraiser that touches the soul and warms the heart. Enjoy!

Atlanta’s Shades of Pink Choir — a choir comprised of survivors celebrating survival through song — has performed for over 150,000 people in over 30 venues in the United States since 2004. Here’s a video clip that makes me weep:

Music is such a powerful weapon — moving us to tears, to action, to triumph. What a great way to inspire and support. I felt lovingly cradled by the voices of these women and I’m not even in treatment at the moment. If I could, I’d hug every single one of them. Every single one. I wish I could see them perform.

Now tell the truth: how many tears dripped onto your keyboard while you listened and watched?

Welcome to the first of many video clips I’m going to share with you all throughout 2008. This one was created by Natasha last October and she posted it on You Tube (nattyemore). I thought I’d share it with you all today:

Don’t you love this video? I’ve never put the Twisted Sister song We’re Not Gonna Take It with the fight for breast cancer before but what a great choice for survivors — the song itself is so empowering. I also got choked up when the mother held her baby close — even a sims2 character can bring tears to my eyes, a cartoon/animated survivor. How powerful!

So … what do you think? Did you like it?

(FYI, I got the idea to post a video clip each weekend from Heather Scoville over at Watching VH1. Thanks, Heather. Meanwhile, if you have a video or make a video and you want to see it showcased here, please send it to my attention at karenmlynch at gmail dot com!)
