Celebrate More Birthdays with the American Cancer Society

There is not one person who has not been touched by cancer in some way. It may be a mother, daughter, father, son, aunt, uncle, cousin or friend who you know that has been diagnosed or died from some form of cancer. Because of that I have decided to continue my birthday series in honor of morebirthdays.com and the American Cancer Society.

I got introduced to morebirthdays.com because they started to follow me on Twitter. Seeing the word birthday in the name got me interested to see who they were. Upon clicking on their site I quickly learned it was the American Cancer Society. The ACS is honoring birthdays because one more birthday is one more day of survival for so many.

The American Cancer Society is asking everyone to join in their fight against cancer and make them the official sponsor of your birthday. Their birthday kit provides useful tips for fun party ideas, healthy meal choices to serve your guests and great gift ideas.


You can also share your birthday by creating a birthday page on morebirthdays.com. If you like you can ask your friends and family to make a donation in honor of your birthday rather than giving you a gift.

The American Cancer Society provides support to patients by giving them useful information, providing free transportation to treatments and if needed a place to stay if home is far from the treatment center. In addition, they support researchers working hard to find new drugs, cures and preventative techniques that fight this horrible disease. The American Cancer Society works with lawmakers to create movements like the smoke-free law and they lobby for more money to be put towards cancer research. Everyday the American Cancer Society is fighting so many different aspects of cancer with the hopes of helping all those touched by it.

The more birthdays there are the more people there are winning the battle against cancer. This is a great way to help build awareness and honor those who fight this deadly disease on a daily basis.

Leg Huggers by Agoo

Leg Huggers, I love them and wish I had them when I had a baby/toddler girl.

These fun leg accessories make a great fashion statement for any little girl. There are numerous designs to choose from including rainbow hearts, retro argyle, butterfly garden and circus parade. Some of the colors incorporated into the designs include pinks, yellows, greens and blues. In addition to a mix of themes, Leg Huggers are available in a solid light pink and a solid fuchsia pink.

Leg Huggers are soft and comfortable and will help keep those small legs warm under dresses or skirts; it will protect your little one’s knees while crawling, climbing, running, dancing or playing and will liven up any outfit. Not only are these great for the cooler weather but are great to take while on the run. Ever go into a restaurant or mall on a very hot day to find that inside it is like being in the artic? Rather than worrying about your little girl's legs getting cold all you need to do is slip these on and your child will have a comfortable experience. There are so many uses and times when Leg Huggers can come in handy. Everyone should have a pair in the car just in case.

Leg Huggers are made from bamboo so each pair is eco-friendly. The bamboo fibers also help the fabric to be breathable, wick moisture away, and since it is a natural fiber is non-irritating.

Leg Huggers are sold in select retail outlets throughout the United States and Canada as well as at select online stores and can also be purchased at
www.leghuggers.com

I highly recommend anyone with a baby/toddler girl or anyone looking for a gift to check out this innovative, comfortable, fashion forward product for girls
