Calling All Golfers

So, I figure I'll go ahead post this as it does indirectly effect our little one. As most of you know I have had 2 melanomas and 2 surgeries in the last 3 years. Thankfully the cancer was found early and no further treatment has been necessary but with the 2nd melanoma diagnosis this past December, we have learned that I will be on the offensive side of this cancer for the rest of my life. The good news is, if caught early it is very, very treatable. The bad news is, this is a poorly funded cancer in terms of research and it is THE FASTEST GROWING CANCER especially among young women today. But there's something you can do to help......

There are very few foundations that raise money for melanoma research but one of them happens to be right here in the DFW area. The foundation is only about 3 years old and was started by a family who lost their 27 year old son to melanoma. They are having their first annual golf tournament on October 15th in Flower Mound at Bridlewood Golf Course. So, if you're a golfer, will you consider playing a round for a good cause?

All details and information can be found by clicking here.

If you don't golf, but would like to donate your time and/or resources the foundation can always use your help. All money raised goes directly to the melanoma clinic at MD Anderson in Houston. If you'd like to know more about Brad's Melanoma Foundation follow this link or click on "Melanoma Foundation" on the list of our favorite blog sites on the right.

Thanks for considering supporting this cause that has become very personal to us!
