<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: large;">BLT has grown and prospered and provided packages to many over the last few years. We have been extremely busy and while we would rather never have to give another basket to a cancer patient if we could rid the world of this disease. For now we carry on and make sure as many people as we can help we do help.</span><br />

<br />
Did you get a chance to head down to Center City in Greensboro NC on September 26 to find the most fantastic display of tents and tables and pink ribbons and most importantly women and men supporting each other because their lives or someone they love has been touched by Breast Cancer.<br />
<br />
Battling Life Together was honored to be a part of this event and already setting the date for next year. What a joyous occasion to meet and greet with such a fine group of people coming together for a similar cause.<br />
<br />
BLT joined hands and displayed many resources and gave away a comfort package while at the event. We spoke to friends and made some new ones. Shared our resources and picked up a few we could use ourselves. <a href="http://www.healthmonitor.com/">http://www.healthmonitor.com/</a> & <a href="http://www.happychemo.com/partners/battling-life-together/">http://www.happychemo.com/partners/battling-life-together/</a><br />
<br />
This is what life should be about... helping others. Sharing our 'resources' that may be time, money, physical goods, knowledge and sometimes just a simple hug or a smile. '<br />
<br />
We are looking forward to the next big event also in Greensboro where a few of the BLT members and supporters will be sporting our pink shirts again to run/walk/crawl in the Womens Only 5k Saturday October 5th. We hope you can join us. <a href="http://womensonlyrun.com/run/">http://womensonlyrun.com/run/</a><br />
<br />
Don't forget to pick up a Guilford County Women's Journal the October edition will be hitting the shelves real soon and Celeste and her team always do a great spread for Cancer Awareness. This October BLT will again be part of the resources given to women in the community. <a href="http://gcwjournal.com/">http://gcwjournal.com/</a><br />
<br />
Another upcoming event for BLT and many ladies fighting to support Susan G Komen please come out and visit 10/18/13 12:00-7p.m. Pink for a Purpose - BLT supports all colors!<br />

The Battling Life Together Community has been more than blessed by the outpouring of support received from our friends, neighbors, businesses and most importantly the BLT Soldiers themselves. What we are promoting, living and providing continues to come full circle. We are receiving the kindness and comfort from those around us so that we may share and pay it forward to those who need it. We have been honored to be part of the Guilford County Women's Journal this summer, they graciously provided us with a space in their magazine and at least once a week someone says "hey I saw you in a magazine when I went to the doctor..." GCWJ is a household name and BLT says thank you to them and to Andrea MacDiarmid a friend from the beginning who shared our journey with Celeste and her team! <a href="http://gcwjournal.com/">http://gcwjournal.com/</a><br />
<br />
As we quickly approach Christmas our thoughts move toward who can we help this year. Who's Christmas will be provided by BLT and the community? Thankful for all we have been able to do and still looking to the future to see how many more people we can provide for.<br />
<br />
The smallest gestures can be contagious and can move mountains. What kind gesture will you share today?<br />

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Battling Life Together continues to grow and continues to touch the lives of people in many states. Our mission to have a positive impact on society is contagious and promising. The impact of those we touch and those experiencing the possibilities of how just a few people from a small section of NC can influence the lives of so many is overwhelming. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just a few months ago a young lady reached out to BLT because she found our organization through a mutual friend on Facebook and found we share a common bond. What we didn't know then was how our lives would link together in such a positive and powerful way.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Elysia Skinner Quinn was just starting an organization called Strength and Hope when she contacted BLT- </span></div>

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Strength and Hope Foundation was created to </span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">support cancer survivors through partnerships with other organizations that address the unique issues survivors face. We look to direct funds to survivorship programs and collaborate with other agencies to provide information to survivors, their caregivers and loved ones. A cancer survivor is anyone who has heard the words, “You have cancer.”</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Elysia and her team are preparing to submit and to obtain their 501c3 non profit status and in the meantime working diligently to meet and exceed the goals of their organization and finding amazing support along the way. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">BLT is very excited to work together with the Strength and Hope Foundation to spread the word and help families during their journey with Cancer and in many cases continue that bond afterward as well. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">BLT would like to invite you to share in this venture and pay it forward by first going to the Strength and Hope Foundations Facebook page and following them as they grow and watch in amazement how.... Together we can make a difference... Together we WILL make a difference.... We are "Battling Life Together" so you are Never Alone in this fight!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thank you for your kindness, for your support, for your prayers. </span><br />

Almost three years ago this journey began with a few friends. Now we have grown in many ways. So many lives that have touched ours. People we never met before become dear friends, old friends become new treasures. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Extended families and friends become new supporters and advocates of the Battling Life Together mission. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The BLT Ladies attend many fund raising events and organize a few of our own to keep the Hope Alive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Just recently a fabulous event at a local Ruby Tuesday restaurant brought us the realization of the number of people that can be touched by our growing organization. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Joining forces with other agencies gives power to the potential that Together we can and we will make the positive difference in the world that we intend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Stay tuned for many updates to our friends, partners and advocates as we continue to grow, to strengthen and to reach out to more and more people that need a little reminder they are Never Alone. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The June/July 2013 edition of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">the Guilford County Womens Journal </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">was a blessing to have our article published. Hope everyone picked up a copy... Page 27. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What does all of this mean? Battling Life Together has started from a single package for a woman most of us had never met, to providing meals and gifts to a little girl and her family at Christmas. To deliver packages to a hospitals where instead of Santa Clause giving gifts requested a few ladies come together and strive to bring a smile to the face of someone facing the fight of their life.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So many sides of the world of Cancer. A young man diagnosed ready to fight and standing beside him his beautiful wife and family who are fighting for him and they are all fighting for the "normal" they had before the day the 'C' word changed everything.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A child that fought harder, longer and so many battles succumbs to the disease at the tender age of 9. His parents, his family who were making life happen in the life of cancer now begin again with learning the life without their baby. This can never be a new normal, life for them will carry on although it will never ever be the same. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A teacher going to school everyday while fighting the fight and still making life seem normal to her students, even on the days when she is her sickest. Coming to school the first day when she has no hair and teaches like nothing changed.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A lady approached me recently and was touched by the mission of BLT and wanted to share her story. More than 10 years ago she went to the doctor for what to most people would have been a simple podiatry visit to end up being diagnosed with Leukemia and spending many weeks in the hospital. During her illness she collected more than 600 cards and the same day as we met she had sat down and looked through these cards and the emotion overwhelmed her at how each person had taken the time to think of her when she needed it most. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These stories and so many more show the family and friends of Battling Life Together what it means to need someone to give them a lift, lend a hand or say a prayer at just the time that is right for them. Sometimes it is the cancer patient who teaches us how to be stronger how to fight harder and how to enjoy the days of what we would call <i>normal</i>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Together we can do this... Together we will do this..... Always we will fight this....</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Battling Life Together then and now and in the future we continue the mission we hope you will too.</span><br />

When we join hands and hearts we can move mountains. Three ladies face the challenges of daily life, just a small undertaking considering the number of people fighting the daily battles for their life.<br />
<br />
We are on a mission, a journey to make positive changes in the lives of others and in our own lives along the way. Reaching out our hands and our hearts to touch the lives of those in need. Maybe in need of a friend, in need of someone who will comfort them with a token of kindness. Over the last three years we have crossed the paths of wonderful caring people; some patients, some caregivers, some just like us on the path to share the love and commitment to help someone else and pay it forward.<br />
<br />
We have found in this journey we are each being touched, healed in many ways ourselves. We have found the positive impact we are capable of in the world and how it is so contagious. Share your faith, share your kindness and it spreads like wildfire. So many people have given to Battling Life Together, not just monetarily or in donating supplies, in the kind words they share with others, in the way they feel the desire in their hearts to help others. We are so fortunate to have come together again, rekindled old friendships, created new ones and so blessed to share our experiences with others.<br />

In a world so filled with sadness, poverty, suffering and pain we are Battling Life Together to provide Comfort, Support and Hope to others. We hope you will join us in this Battle and Together we will win the War!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Year in the Life.... So many people have crossed our path, so many lives we have been honored to touch with the comfort of a small basket, a get well card, a telephone call. How do you measure your life? Do you have a day to day routine,a regular job, wonderful family and friends even a few activities during the week or weekend. Each and every person measures their life differently. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once you have a cancer diagnosis this routine changes, your days are different, your nights consist of new routines, new 'to do lists', your family takes on a new role of care giver, nurse, and google expert. (each of you who have ever supported someone battling cancer knows what this means)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We all have a place in this world, Our stay here might not be long for everyone we do choose the writing on our headstone. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are blessed to have our place in this world, a world so full of uncertainty, violence, tragedy... and of course a place in this world still so full of Love, Compassion, Commitment, Loyalty... yes it still exists. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With each step we take we can decide to walk on someone, walk around them or walk beside them. You choose. We did. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Battling Life Together has been a journey for each of the BLT Ladies as well, we have met new and wonderful people. Found so much love surrounding this journey and compassion for each other. We are paying it forward everyday. We have each experienced this disease from different perspectives, not physically diagnosed with the disease we carry it in our hearts, on our minds and have clear memories of each person we have walked this journey with. </span><br />

No matter how big or small it can be hurtful to deal with if you feel you are "alone". Believe that you have someone who will understand, someone who will listen, someone who wants you to share your heartache with them. Battling Life Together is here, so you are not alone and others are here for you too. </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Be strong, be confident, be yourself and most importantly Believe.....</span></span></h4>

We have recently received this blessing from Cathy's Creations Jewelry to print a charm for BLT and part of the proceeds will benefit BLT's mission of helping those fighting cancer and their caregivers.<br />
<br />
I hope you will take the time and go to her site and purchase one or many today for you, your friends, your family. The Ribbon is colorless to represent ALL Cancers- Cancer is fought by so many in so many ways and we want BLT will continue to represent how Together we are Never Alone!<br />

Since the start we have seen many changes. Milestones have been met, obstacles overcome; we became an official Non Profit 501-C3 organization in July of this year. We are now moving forward to raise money and get involved with the larger organizations, Cancer Centers, Hospice facilities etc. We have touched so many lives in many different ways. Even more so we have been touched, changed, improved because of each and every one. We have made so many new friends, supporters, and met many BLT Soldiers along the way. Sadly a few have earned their wings and we pay tribute to them by paying it forward and continuing to do our work and providing others on this journey a little comfort and a lot of support. </span><br />

What BLT is all about.... It could be you, me or a stranger in another state. BLT is Battling Life Together so that none of us are ever alone. Cancer Sucks. Yep I said it, sometimes I want to shout it from the rooftops, but now we use that energy in a different way by providing comfort to others that are living it. All of us as members of BLT have battled it, currently fighting it, fighting against it, holding someone up that is fighting it. Why not use what you have and put your arms around someone who may not have the strength today to do it for themselves but because of you they will have more strength tomorrow.<br />
<br />
So many now share our passion, our journey our mission to comfort others - you can be part of this. Contact BLT today and we will let you know how. Do you know someone that could use a smile, a child that is fighting the fight of their young life, how a coloring book and gift package might make their day, even a grand parent struggling the battle or caring for their own child fighting CANCER. Yes Cancer Sucks, but we can all be more passionate, caring and persistent in helping others.Battling Life Togetherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14095790172043639797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638650035946751711.post-84885389421832769792012-04-13T17:09:00.000-07:002012-04-13T17:09:50.207-07:00Fund Raising for BLTWhat's Happening in the world of BLT.... <br />

Being with a group like BLT has shown each of us how even the smallest gesture can have the biggest impact. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">With all of the publicity and response BLT received from the Inspired Living Segment we have been so fortunate to meet many other people just like us; impacted by cancer in different ways. There are so many kind and compassionate people willing to reach out their hand to give so that someone else can be reminded they are not alone. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">The donations, offers for assistance, referrals have been pouring in and we are so blessed that we are able to continue to give back to the community and reach out to organizations such as St. Judes with the help of others.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">BLT has been blessed and we continue to prosper. We are so very close to submitting our 501C application so that we can become official and impact the lives of many more individuals and families. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">It is surreal - we can feel excitement that we are able to help so many people, and so much sadness because the numbers of people impacted by cancer is growing. Children and adults are overwhelmed with the diagnosis, the treatments, the cost. The impact that cancer has on the lives of so many can be devastating. The impact can also have the reverse effect and the person(s) will find a way they can impact the life of someone else.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">Just recently a BLT soldier was impacted by the loss of a dear friend, another cancer patient she met while having treatments herself. This impact was two fold, not only did she lose a dear friend, she had to face a reality that not all cancer patients survive. Then again, none of us 'survive' in the end. There is a special place we will all go one day, how will you spend your days? Impacting the lives of others or waiting for someone to impact yours? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">No matter the answer BLT is here... Battling Life Together. Thank you all for impacting our lives and helping us to impact the lives of others. </span><br />

Both black and green teas contain numerous active ingredients, including polyphenols and flavonoids, which are potent antioxidants.</p> <p>One class of flavonoids called catechins has recently become the focus of widespread study for their anti-cancer potential. Tea is the best source of catechins in the human diet, and green tea contains about three times the quantity of catechins found in black tea.</p> <p>In laboratory studies, green tea has been shown to slow or completely prevent cancer developent in colon, liver, breast and prostate cells. Other studies involving green tea have shown similar protective effects in tissues of the lung, skin and digestive tract.</p> <p>Studies that track the diets of human subjects over several years (particularly studies conducted in Asia, where green tea consumption is common) have also associated regular usage of green tea with lower risk for bladder, colon, stomach, pancreatic and esophageal cancers.</p> <p>AICR's second expert report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective, was unable to make a recommendation regarding the relationship between tea consumption and cancer risk due to insufficient evidence.</p> <p>Note: Very high amounts of green tea components (usually associated with overdosage of green tea supplements) have been shown to interact with drugs that affect blood clotting such as aspirin and change the way the body metabolizes certain medications. </p> Battling Life Togetherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14095790172043639797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638650035946751711.post-23305430592666981062011-09-30T19:03:00.000-07:002011-09-30T19:03:45.688-07:00Thoughts and Information from David Haas<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Times; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Whether an individual has recently been diagnosed with cancer
or has already overcome cancer, maintaining fitness is essential and can truly
be beneficial. While fitness and exercise are not exactly cures for cancer,
some research shows that cancer patients and survivors who exercise on a
regular basis have a better chance of recovery. This is true for many different
kinds of cancer including common cancers such as <a href="http://www.breastcancer.org/">breast cancer</a> and even rare diseases
like <a href="http://www.mesothelioma.com/">mesothelioma</a>.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Times; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Battling cancer can be difficult and challenging for just
about anyone. Cancer is not bias and it will occur in individuals of all ages,
races, and religious backgrounds. When an individual suffers from cancer,
he/she will typically be given several options for treatment methods. Cancer
treatment will usually consist of radiation therapy or surgery. <br />
<br />
Once an individual suffering from cancer begins their cancer treatment, they
should start to maintain a much healthier lifestyle. Eating properly and
exercising on a regular basis will help a cancer patient in many different
ways. Some of the <a href="http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/SurvivorshipDuringandAfterTreatment/NutritionforPeoplewithCancer/nutrition-and-physical-activity-during-and-after-cancer-treatment-answers-to-common-questions">benefits
of maintaining a healthier lifestyle by eating healthy and exercising</a> would
include an improvement in self-confidence, major reduction of stress, increased
energy levels, and an overall happier mood. <br />
<br />
There are many different exercises that can be performed by cancer patients and
survivors. Some of these exercises include stretches for <a href="http://www.yogabodynaturals.com/">flexibility</a>, walking, running,
swimming, and even lifting weights. A cancer patient or cancer survivor should
consult with their physician prior to exercising just to make sure that the
physician feels it is alright for the individual to take part in such
exercises. Most physicians will even recommend exercise to cancer patients and
cancer survivors because of the major benefits. </span></div>

We received over 300 recipes that were donated and compiled by a number of supporters, family, friends and even BLT Soldiers. We are looking forward to kicking off our second year with the funds we will receive from this fundraiser. We anticipate this to be enough to file our official application to obtain the 501C3 to be recognized by the state as an official non profit organization. Below you will see a few photographs of some of our recent BLT soldiers we have had the pleasure to meet. These ladies continue to remind us why we are here to support cancer patients and their caregivers. Thank you for your continued support. These ladies and so many others make it all worth it! </span></span><br />

We have so many constant supporters, who purchase from each fund raiser, donate to our cause for fundraisers, yard sales etc. We are continuing to grow and as we approach our 1 year Birthday we anticipate next year being even bigger and better. </b></span></span><br />

It was such a pleasure to speak to her and she was so happy we are involved with helping cancer patients. We continue to follow up with Becky and she is doing well. We love comforting our "BLT Soldiers" and making new friends at the same time. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
