Hello I’m Joel, owner of Vivid Snares & Fishing, and fishing report columnist for local magazine, The Pacifica Anchor, based in Pacifica, CA.
I have. We have. lost friends and family from breast cancer and we still have loved ones that continue fighting.
Our recent loss was a close family friend. She was the most loving, caring, and shyest soft-spoken person my family knew and still has us in shock. When she was first diagnosed, she found every way to fight it through holistic healing, unfortunately, it was too late. But witnessing her time and the way she lived her life after being diagnosed, was inspiring. She started traveling exploring overseas and found herself appreciating the small things, her favorite was watching the sunset every day. She always pushed for the natural organic way of living but made it a point that many things we use in everyday life had chemicals, hormones, and carcinogens that cause cancer. Since then, Ive agreed to be mindful about everything we put into our bodies. When it was her time to pass, she lived a life most people did not, but still too short as she was only 35 years old.
So please help us raise funds and donate to a cause bigger than us. Support loved ones to have better treatments whether holistic or conventional. Let’s inspire a healthier, longer, and spiritual life through education and PREVENTION. Your kindness and contributions are deeply appreciated and I personally thank you as anything helps
Our mission:
Help raise breast cancer awareness and fundraise $50,000+ and split it to these two non-profit breast cancer organizations.
1.
The Bay Area, CA local organization, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP)
“We’re preventing breast cancer before it starts by eliminating our exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation”
Why: One of the only few unique local organizations that help PREVENT breast cancer
2.
The popular but true organization, Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCAF)
Their vision, “The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is dedicated to ending breast cancer by advancing the world’s most promising research”
Why: Anything to help fuel their mission for the treatments and care to patients and to help them get one step closer to understanding and finding a solution to breast cancer.
