Connecting for a Cure - Giveaway - Breast Cancer Awareness

And the Winner is......

Comment number 22 - Margie from Meketa Farm! Margie, e-mail me at nancy at ragingbearranch dot com with your mailing address info! Thank you for participating and check out my newest giveaway from General Mills and Fiber One!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Raging Bear Ranch wants to do all we can to raise the awareness. When MyBlogSpark approached me about working with them, General Mills® and PinkTogether.com to help raise this awareness I jumped at the chance.

What is PinkTogether.com you ask? PinkTogether.com is an online community on MySpace where those touched by breast cancer can connect and provide support, comfort, and encouragement to one another by sharing stories, comments and sending Virtual Flower Bouquets. If you have not been to their site please go out and have a look around. This site is supportive of all who are affected by breast cancer and you can leave messages of support and hope so they know that they are not battling this disease alone.

To encourage personal connections in the online community, General Mills will donate $1 (up to $20,000) to Komen for each inspirational story submitted, encouraging comment posted, or virtual flower of support sent on PinkTogether.com, and for each shared message of hope posted on Pink Together’s Facebook fan page during the month of October (up to $5,000). This $25,000 is in addition to the $2 million donation General Mills has committed to Komen to advance breast cancer research and support education and community outreach projects.

Raging Bear Ranch is asking all of our readers to help us spread the word about this important program. If you would like to participate in this Giveaway, we ask that you please visit PinkTogether.com and read some of the inspiring stories. You can also watch these short videos from the 2010 Pink Together Survivor Ambassadors talking about their journeys with breast cancer.

If that isn’t enough, PinkTogether.com through MyBlogSpark is offering a Giveaway to one of Raging Bear Ranch’s Readers! Connecting for a Cure Gift Package includes a Pink Ribbon car magnet and key chain, travel mug, and drawstring backpack, along with coupons for free packages of one Big G cereal, GreenGiant® Frozen Veggies, Macaroni Grill® Dinner Kits, Fiber One® Bars and Progresso® Soup.

I am dedicating this giveaway to the memory of my Nannie Pauline & Grandma Nash who were and still are two of the bravest women I know, memory of all the brave warriors who lost the battle, like my friend Julie, to all the brave men and women who are currently fighting breast Cancer, to the families of breast cancer patients and to the Survivors, like my friend Barb, you are my heroes.

I Love Bacteria....The Good Kind - Ends July 16th

http://tinyurl.com/27asw76

I Love Bacteria - Culturelle® That is - T-shirt Giveaway

I love Bacteria! I really do but I Love the Good kind like Culturelle®.

Culturelle® sent me their Digestive Health 30-count for a review and graciously donated 2 of their I Love Bacteria T-shirts (S,M,L) to be given away. The Digestive Health is taken when you have an upset stomach or are traveling. On Tuesday I was suffering from an upset stomach and began taking the supplement (1 pill/day) and was actually surprised that my upset stomach within 6 hours was better and I was not having to go to the restroom as often. I am continuing the pills for two more days to ensure that the good bacteria is back in place in my stomach.

Culturelle® is the only probiotic dietary supplement containing Lactobacillus GG, the ³good² bacteria strain used to restore and maintain a healthy balance in the digestive system.

Culturelle® is all-natural, and does not contain any wheat or gluten. There are trace amounts of dairy proteins (less than 15 ppm in each capsule), but it is also available in a dairy-free formula. That is the formula I use.

Culturelle® Products are as follows:
Natural Health and Wellness 30-count
Culturelle for Kids
Digestive Health 30-count
Dairy-Free Natural Health and Wellness -30 count

Culturelle is the most researched and clinically proven probiotic supplement on the market. Lactobacillus GG, which is only found in supplement form in Culturelle, is the subject of more over 400 clinical reports and studies, making it the mostly widely researched strain of probiotic in the world proving its safety and efficacy.

Culturelle works to help promote overall digestive and immune health. Diet, stress, travel and even some medications encourage bad bacteria to flourish in your intestinal tract. When bad bacteria outnumber good bacteria, your digestive and overall health is open to a host of potential concerns. Culturelle, with Lactobacillus GG, safely and naturally replaces the bad bacteria in your digestive tract with good bacteria leading to healthier digestion and a stronger immune system.

Unlike most-probiotic-fortified foods, Culturelle gets to where health benefits are needed the most! The Lactobacillus GG found in Culturelle is one of the few probiotics that survives the strong acids of the stomach and intestines and then has the ability to colonize the intestinal tract (where 70% of the immune system resides).

Not all probiotic supplements are created equal. The amount of live bacteria listed on many probiotic labels is often the number of bacteria at the time of manufacture, not use. Culturelle, however is manufactured with at least 30 billion live cells with at least 10 billion guaranteed at time of usage. This is about 10 times the amount of probiotic bacteria found in
many yogurts (and without the additional sugar or calories).
