Gearing up for September...

The month of September is great for two reasons: a) my mom's birthday (Sept. 15) and b) Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has designated September as The Month of Teal where people share information about Ovarian Cancer and wear the color teal for 30 days and in my case I paint my toes teal for the month.

This year the OCNA has a "30 Days of Teal" Campaign where you share something each day of September. We'll see how far it goes because that is a lot of blogging every day.

Also, befitting for the month, our local Ovarian Cancer Foundation the Norma Leah Foundation is going to have women wear teal tennies in the Rock Island Labor Day Parade on Monday, Sept. 2.
