FIVE

Glamour.com

   I walked in my house a few weeks ago and this magazine was sitting on my counter.  First I was wondering why Glamour was sending me magazines because I couldn't recall ordering it. You can't have my money Glamour! Anywho, then I was intrigued about why these three women were on the cover.  Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, and Alicia Keys have teamed up and directed a Lifetime movie, Five.  
   This movie is the Crash of breast cancer. It interconnects five short stories about women dealing with the disease.  Since October is breast cancer month, I think this is fabulous way to show awareness for breast cancer.  These three women are very unique and have an extensive fan base.  Collaborating on this movie was a great way to reach a wide variety of people.

   200,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year. 40,000 of those women will die for the disease.  Another 50,000 women will be diagnosed with non-invasive breast cancer. That's a whole lot of women.  I myself lost a dear friend to breast cancer earlier this year.  My grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer before I was even born.  My mother is amongst the 2.5 million breast cancer survivors.  Cancer is all around me and I'm all about promoting breast cancer awareness.  We have to save the ta-tas! Ladies don't skip your monthly self  examinations.  My mother had her mammogram and her doctor said she didn't have any abnormal cells.  Two weeks later, she did her self examination and found a lump! Crazy right?  No one knows your girls better than you do. So don't neglect your breast!

 Five premiered on Lifetime this pass Monday.  There will be an encore showing tomorrow at 8pm and Sunday at 8pm.  Check it out!  I caught the end of the movie on Monday and it was heart warming.  I cried.  I sure did.  I'm soft but its still an excellent movie.  Watch it and let me know what you think.  Hopefully the movie will inspire you to get involved in promoting breast cancer!

Happy Friday!
