Local Woman-Owned Business Brings Breast Cancer Awareness to Women Across the Country and the Globe

Local entrepreneur is helping bring awareness to breast cancer and doing her part to raise funds for breast cancer in a unique online effort by work at home moms and other entrepreneurial women.

Edison, New Jersey (PRWEB) September 26, 2005 -- Vivian, owner of PurpleEgg is temporarily putting business on hold to participate in an online event designed to bring awareness of breast cancer to women all across the country and the globe.

This month-long event is taking place on InternetBasedMoms.com, a community of work at home moms who network and share resources to build their online businesses. In October 2005, this community is banding together to bring awareness of breast cancer and raise funds for breast cancer charities. The event includes breast cancer information, resources and stories of inspirational moms who have battled breast cancer. Fundraisers include a number of entrepreneurs that are donating a generous portion of their sales to select breast cancer charities.

Vivian is personally contributing to this event by increasing awareness breast cancer and donating a portion of her internet sales to breast cancer charity.

Despite the growing awareness of breast cancer, there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection of breast cancer at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals.

According to the organization, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), If all women age 40 and older took advantage of early detection methods -- mammography plus clinical breast exam -- breast cancer death rates would drop much further, up to 30 percent. The key to mammography screening is that it be done routinely -- once is not enough."

Says Vivian, Women have been taking care of their families and everyone else since the beginning of time, and seem to neglect to care for themselves, I want to challenge women to take time off to go for screening".
