The passing of technology industry icon Steve Jobs on October 5 reminded the world once again of how deadly a disease pancreatic cancer is. Legislation is pending in Congress though that can potentially change the status quo for this disease: the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act (S. 362/H.R. 733). This bill would compel the National Cancer Institute to develop a long-term and comprehensive strategic plan to make progress in fighting this silent killer. PLAN TO CALL CONGRESS TOMORROW. |

Hundreds of men and women dawned heels of all shapes and sizes for the second annual Stiletto Sprint. Benefitting the Susan G. Komen foundation and the Garden of Hope and Courage, 5th Avenue South was a sea of pink on Friday evening. The race, though only spanning a few short blocks, was an exciting one, heels flew off mid sprint, as the front of the pack charged towards the finish line. Festivities continued through the evening with an after party at Cafe and Bar Lucrat and the Pink is Power street party on 5th. |

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in this week's tip we hope to give all of our clients some insight into preventing this disease. One out of nine women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and having a mother or sister with breast cancer will raise your risk significantly. It is something all women are concerned with as well as a growing number of men. There are many things we can be conscious of to reduce our risk and education and empowerment is the key. |
