I'm going without chocolate to support Breast Cancer awareness and healthy living!!

Give it Up for Breast Cancer! I've decided to go without chocolate in January 2024 and raise money for breast cancer research.

My lifestyle has changed since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I've embraced a healthy Plant-Based diet to help prevent recurrence and to support my body with nutritional food during treatment.   I'll be sharing my January healthy meals and drinks with you!

You can make a difference. Let me know if you want to Give it Up for Breast Cancer with me!  What would you give up?  Thanks for your encouragement and donations. Karen

As January comes to an end I'll like to thank everyone for their donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, we have raised $665 with 127 views. I've had no chocolate for one month and my diet makes me stronger and healthier.

Thanks and my new pizza dessert
