Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the F*Cancer Embrace Life newsletter! You’re receiving this email because you have either bought a F*Cancer bracelet, expressed interest in F*Cancer, or because you’re a friend of mine.Although I’ve sent you this first issue, I won’t continue to send you more newsletters unless you tell me you want to get them. If you subscribe, I’ll send you an email about every six weeks. In those emails you’ll get news about where F*Cancer bracelets have been spotted (at the Junos in Vancouver last month!); the opportunity to send us pictures and stories about your own F*Cancer experiences; and a link or two to resources that have meaning to people who are connected to cancer and are saying, “F*Cancer, I Embrace Life!”
So please sign-up to receive the new F*Cancer enewsletter.

We are thrilled to have provided this much support for their work! To learn more, please visit www.InspireHealth.ca
By the end of 2009, we’d like to see a lot more donations reach InspireHealth. We’re just getting started and we could really use your help!

Running with Team in Training, and wearing my F*Cancer bracelet, I raised $3650 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

What do Sarah McLachlan, The Barenaked Ladies and Chantal Kreviazuk all have in common – other than being some of our favorite Canadian musicians?
They are all friends of F*Cancer Embrace Life and were all seen wearing their F*Cancer bracelets at the Juno Award ceremony in Vancouver on March 29.
Want to see how fabulous these bracelets look on a red carpet?
Check out the segment on eTalk on our F*Cancer website.
“F* Cancer? I couldn’t agree more! I wear the bracelet in honour of my Mother, who I lost to Lung Cancer last year. We all have a reason. A relative, a friend, a coworker. I’m tired of this F*ing disease.”
- Ed Robertson, Barenaked Ladies |

Love, Medicine & Miracles
Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon’s Experience with Exceptional Patients
This is a wonderful book written by Dr. Bernie Siegel, a man who has touched many lives all over our planet. In 1978 he began talking about patient empowerment and the choice to live fully and die in peace. As a physician who has cared for and counseled innumerable seriously ill people, Dr. Siegel embraces a philosophy of living and dying that stands at the forefront of medical ethics and the spiritual issues our society grapples with today. He continues to break new ground in the field of healing and personally, lives the message of kindness and love. Visit Dr. Siegel’s web site.
“Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. The truth is: love heals. Miracles happen to exceptional patients every day–patients who have the courage to love, those who have the courage to work with their doctors to participate in and influence their own recovery.”
- Dr. Bernie Siegel |
