Hopefully you caught the first article of the new series in Sand Addiction called Project Pink Jeep. A jeep restoration project that took a major turn and purpose when project manager Shari got diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Her fight has been public through the magazine and at off-road events where she has taken the completed Pink Jeep and passed out Susan G Koman for the Cure literature.We are all shaken with the reality that 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer if a cure is not found. Mothers, sisters, wives and friends.We all need to take on this fight together. See below for how you can help a fellow off-roader and on a much broader scope - all women who fight breast cancer today and those who will find out they have it tomorrow.Please take a minute and post a comment with your words of wisdom or share your experience with breast cancer.
Keep checking back as this page will be updated with new information!

Upcoming Events
Shari completed her last treatment of Chemo this week and on Sunday she is going to stand strong and join the 2007 Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure in Temecula.
I Challenge You:
She has a donation page for the race. So far, she has far exceeded her goal of $500 for the cure. Lets see what YOU, the Sand Addiction family, can pull together to support one of our own sand families. Anything, even a
simple $10 or $20 adds up in the end…and more can make an even bigger difference. This is a secure website that accepts credit cards. Please follow the link and be proud to help sponsor the race for a cure.

I want to thank the guys/gals at the magazine for telling everyone about the Race for the Cure. I was completely surprised by the web page. The really cool thing is that there’s the potential to raise a lot of money. I think there’s quite a lot of awareness but we want to CURE breast cancer. I understand that they are getting closer to that reality, but we still need more research. That’s why we need more money — to fund research. Komen also provides grants to uninsured and underinsured women so they can get adequate medical treatment. The money we raise is used for vitally important work.

Shari,
Keep up the fight and know you have women supporting you in all walks of life. I am a friend of one of your people who works there and I have a passion for anything women can do and one of those is Jeeping and the other is riding motorcycles. Please know you are thought of and cheered for each day.

Shari,
My sister-in-law Marcie, 40 years young, was diagnosed with stage iv on Christmas 2004. We must fight this disease together through support, prayer, and education. God bless you.
