Exciting day ... visiting Omnyx and doing an event with GE and the American Cancer Society about additional cancer risks to the LGBT community. Today is all about cancer awareness, prevention, and early detection. Did you know the LGBT community has increased risks for many cancers?

Some special love from the road

I am truly touched by the amazing employees that work at this hotel. When I checked-in at the hotel tonight, this was waiting on my bed. So incredibly thoughtful. If you ever visit Pittsburgh and want to be in this part of town, stay at this hotel!
I used to be a Marriott loyalist until I stayed at this Homewood when the nearby Marriott Courtyard was full (and full of issues). From that first visit I have enjoyed the hotel, location, and amazing staff. I've also been enjoying being a Hilton girl. For a road warrior, seeing a familiar face during travel makes your day.

Today's breast cancer education ... This is a group of Young Breast Cancer Survivors in Milwaukee that are holding the age they were diagnosed. Breast cancer doesn't only happen to older women or women with a family history. 1 in 8! 85% with no family history. This could happen to you or any woman (or men) in your life. Get screened ladies! #breastcancer #milwaukeelove

Team Phoenix 2015 - Breast Cancer Survivors as Iron Girls ... Swim, Bike, Run!
Oct 1st ... the hardest month of the year, during my favorite season of the year. October is breast cancer awareness month. Now known as when every organization and company tries to capitalize on breast cancer. Also a month that in every direction I turn, I'm reminded of breast cancer. This is a very difficult time for anyone who has fought/is fighting the disease or those who lost loved ones to it. Awareness is ... 1 of 8 women will get breast cancer. 85% who get it do not have a genetic predisposition. A woman’s risk of breast cancer nearly doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Women who do not have children, or have them later in life, have an increased risk. Get your mammograms ladies and do your monthly self exams!!! Also, men get breast cancer too. The best way to minimize your risk is through nutrition, activity, and a lower BMI, and not drinking. Early detection saves lives. If you want to donate to an organization, do your homework! Many popular breast cancer nonprofits don't donate as much as you would expect to the cause. If you want to help someone like me, donate to research! We need find a cure!!! Or give to an organization that does outreach to underserved or undereducated communities. Here are a few of my favorite breast cancer moments from the last few years ...  #fucancer #breastcancer#octoberissohard #doyourresearchbeforeyoudonate
