Komen for the Cure foundation,” nonetheless took a sarcastic swing at the organization this week “for spending almost a million dollars a year in donor funds to sue…other groups” for using the phrase “for the Cure” in their promotions. We blogged, “Who owns pink ideas or cure slogans? Welcome to the Charity Brawl” back in August after the Wall Street Journal (to our knowledge) first reported the story. Then in December, the Huffington Post reported that “Komen has identified and filed legal trademark oppositions against more than a hundred of these Mom and Pop charities, including Kites for a Cure, Par for The Cure, Surfing for a Cure and Cupcakes for a Cur...

Who doesn’t know Cynthia Nixon? That red head of Sex and The City. Gosh, I love her red hair! Anyways… Cynthia Nixon recently revealed her quiet battle with breast cancer and told US TV show Nightline she “didn’t really want to make it public”. Nixon was diagnosed a year and a half ago and said she even scheduled surgery so she would not miss a performance of the play she was starring in. “I didn’t want paparazzi at the hospital while I was going through this,” said Nixon, who said that one of the few people she shared the news with was partner Christine Marinoni. The 42-year-old told the ABC network programme that she felt a diagnosis of breast cancer was likely as her mother had su...

It was a group of four young guys who recently skateboarded across Canada to raise awareness for breast cancer. They've also recently been appointed the parade marshalls of the Calgary Stampede, which might not mean much to most of you, but the position of Parade Marshall is usually held by .... well ... someone famous, such as Walt Disney, Prince Charles, Jack Lemen, etc. I think this goes to show that cancer-related causes are gaining more awareness every day, which is so promising.The names of these unlikely heroes are Carlos Koppen, Rob Lewis, Aaron Jackson and Benjamin Jordan, and their cause is called Push for the Cure.
