Quote of the Day: Sheryl Crow

via stltoday.com

“I don’t need to reiterate the fact that that everyone has a relationship with cancer. Whether it’s an individual-personal relationship — whether it’s with family or friends — we’ve all been touched by cancer.”

Sheryl Crow rocked the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Charity Concert this Saturday to benefit a cause close to her heart. The MLB donated $1 million to the organization “Stand Up To Cancer” and Sheryl told the crowd a bit about her own battle with breast cancer. A woman in the US has a 1 in 8 chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her life. When diagnosed, a woman has a 1 in 33 chance of dying from breast cancer.

Want to help? Why not wear a ribbon in support of breast cancer research. Do you agree with Sheryl that the cancer cause is universal? What’s your connection to the cause? How can you use it to stand up to cancer with Sheryl? For one thing, July is UV Safety Month so educate yourself on sun safety and the dangers of skin cancer. Tell us what you think—comment below!
