BreastCancerStories.Org Unveils New State-of-the-Art
Website
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., February 24, 2009: BreastCancerStories.org - a local
non-profit organization that provides people affected by breast cancer an
online networking environment to keep family updated as they progress
through treatment and connect with other Survivors and Care Givers - will be
launching a new state-of-the-art website at the offices of PixelMEDIA in
Portsmouth, NH, March 4, 2009.
Much like a traditional blog site, Breast Cancer Patients, as well as
Care Givers, are able to add chapters and photos to their story page as they
or their loved one progress through their treatment cycle. The uniqueness of
the site comes from the search capabilities - Breast Cancer Patients can
search through the stories by age, location, type of treatment and even life
style issues (relationship / parental status, occupation, ethnic
background), enabling them to read stories and connect with others going
through a similar experience.
"Our hope is for this new website is to extend the reach of the support
these stories provide to the many women and men, as well as their family and
friends, who are dealing with the impact breast cancer can have on everyone
it touches," said Erik Dodier, Co-founder, President, and CEO of PixelMEDIA,
Inc. "BreastCancerStories.org has been an ongoing effort we have been
familiar with for several years now, and we are happy to get involved,
especially given our long-standing relationship with the founder, Wendy
McCoole."
All are welcome to attend this very special event to be held at 222
International Drive, Suite 175, Portsmouth, NH, Wednesday, March 4, 2009
from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
To RSVP in advance please contact: Anne Lynch at annetlynch@gmail.com or
Wendy McCoole at wendy.mccoole@comcast.net. Raffle donations are welcome.

PARTNERING to HELP FIND a CURE
BreastCancerStories is partnering with
Find A Cure Panel to empower people to play an active role in fighting
breast cancer. By way of short surveys
Find A Cure Panel is able to gather pertinent data and information for
their clients to find a cure on our behalf every day. And as a thank you for
becoming involved in this program,
Find A Cure Panel will donate a minimum of $25 for every survey that is
taken.
Each survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete (or less) and
participants are under NO OBLIGATION whatsoever to take all (or any) of the
surveys. They participate at their convenience.
This really is a tremendous opportunity to give back twice as participant's
survey answers will play an active part in the breast cancer research that
is being done to make this dreaded disease go away ... and they'll be
helping BreastCancerStories.org to continue this invaluable support service
for patients and care givers everywhere.
