In the Know Resources supports the Breast Cancer Fund. Through education and legislation, they work to eliminate environmental causes of breast cancer. The best part, their efforts also help to reduce the incidents of other cancers, learning and behavioral problems, neurological issues and other diseases that are caused by the same chemicals that can lead to breast cancer.

Over 100 women came together to support the The Breast Cancer Fund  http://www.breastcancerfund.org/   Together we raised approximately $8,000 for the cause. 

Keynote Speaker, Dr. Sharon Norling founder of the Mind Body Spirit Center   http://www.thembsc.com shed light on what actions each of us can take to reduce our risk of cancer including limiting our exposure to toxic chemicals found in personal care products and household cleaning products.  The Four Seasons and California Health and Longevity Institute http://www.chli.com  outlined the programs they provide to help lead a healthy life.
