Support Chris Ralston as She Walks for a Cure

by chRalston 28. June 2011 07:44

As you know by visiting our site, we're all about watermelon, eating healthy and curing breast cancer.  And we put our money where our mouth is-- this summer alone, we've raised over $90,000 to support breast cancer prevention organizations!

 

Help us keep the momentum going as we support our very own Chris Ralston again this year as she and her team take part in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Chris will be joined on her walk this year by her mom, son Kasey, and friend Carol.

In case you missed the account of last year's 3 Day event, check out Chris' personal website here. You will see pictures and get a feel for what a great experience this is for everyone who walks.

 

Having successfully beat breast cancer, Chris puts her heart and soul into this event for those women who weren't so lucky.  If you'd like to help Chris eradicate this terrible diseas by supporting her, follow this link to visit her personal fundraising website and make a donation.

And don't forget to buy Pink Ribbon Watermelon-- they're available at pariticpating retailers all summer long!  Every purchase contributes to our mutual goal of ending breast cancer!

Good Resources vs Bad Resources

by chRalston 18. June 2009 04:05
When it comes to learning about a recently diagnosed illness, so many people turn to the internet these days for their research. I always caution people about the credibility of these sources. I found I could count on information from my health care providers and nationally recognized institutions, like the American Cancer Society. Start with these resources and continue your research from there. The key is that you have to be your own health care advocate and continue to ask questions until you’re comfortable with the information you’re given.

Chris' Story

Hello, my name is Chris Ralston and I'm a recent breast cancer survivor. During my time of discovery, diagnosis, treatment and cure, I've found many resources, both online and in print that helped me with my battle to win. My husband works for C.H. Robinson, and hearing about our plight to fight and win this battle, they asked me to share my experience with others. This site is a collaboration between U.S. retailers and C.H. Robinson to help educate others going through cancer-related illness on their options. Please feel free to respond to my topics, ask questions or just give me feedback. Together, we can win.
