A lot of fun at Revel with a Cause

What a great "Revel with a Cause" concert on Wednesday. The Diamonds kicked things into high-gear with a great performance, followed by Gary Puckett and The Association. These guys really know their oldies music, with a mixture of cover songs and originals by Gary Puckett it was a time-machine back to a different time. My favorite was when the Diamonds performed a heart-wrenching "Unchained Melody." Wow. That song helped produce a standing ovation, the second of the night after a great standing ovation for Dr. Goulet when he received the Lawrence H. Einhorn M.D. Award.

Robert J. Goulet Jr., M.D.: What a man, and what accomplishments and impact he continues to make in the fight against breast cancer. Truly a man of compassion for his clients, and passion in the fight against breast cancer. Congratulations Dr. Goulet! You deserve every bit of your standing ovation!

Have a great Pinktober, and don't forget that the Mt. Auburn March for the Cure is Saturday, November 3rd.

"Be my Bra"

Who's your bra?

A bra is support. A bra is strength. Women everywhere need that extra support in facing their breast cancer. You may have a mother, sister, daughter, or friend with the disease. Breast cancer will affect 1 in 7 women (and it affects men too!). Be someone's support. Be a bra.

Lifetimetv.com has gone the extra mile and put together this great "Be my Bra" campaign. The Lifetimetv website has a lot of resources: videos, blogs, and ways to share stories and support in the fight.

Be My Bra.

A Dr. Goulet Story

Here are words from Little Red Door's very own Nancy Griffith. Nancy is Little Red Door Cancer Agency's Director of Special Events and Volunteer Services.

15 months ago, I received the phone call we all fear:

"I’m so sorry, Nancy, it’s malignant."

I was in Dr. Goulet’s office before I had time to absorb or process this life-altering news. I was now on the fast track for breast cancer treatment and healing. He sits next to me to talk (unlike many doctors who stand on the other side of the room). His voice is calm and reassuring. He patiently answers my questions and always has a resident under his wing, always teaching, always explaining. The thing that has been most comforting is that Dr. Goulet’s guideline for my care is the same as it would be if I was part of his family. Because now I am. And I always feel better when I see him.

Robert J. Goulet Jr., M.D. will receive the Lawrence H. Einhorn M.D. Award, for his exceptional impact in the lives of breast cancer patients in Central Indiana. The award will be presented at Little Red Door's "Revel with a Cause" charity concert on October 17th.

I'm still laughing about the "MY-RACK" T-shirts. Way to go ladies!

Here is a photo of the Dice Divas! T-shirts read "STOP THE WAR IN MY-RACK."
"We walked in the Relay for Life earlier this year in support of our friend Laura. We are ready for the "fight!"

This photo of our staff was taken in early June in honor of Pat Anker, one of our long-term board members who is recovering from breast cancer. We sent her the photo and a get well card signed by all the staff as she was recovering from surgery. Pat just finished her radiation and physical therapy this week and is doing really well. She’s been an inspiration to all of us!
~ Anita S. Owen, MSW at Family Service.

But now, I "pink out"! And so do my Co-Survivors, my wonderful husband Bill and my daughter Molly and even my dog Baby!"

Dan's wife Trish at the Komen Indianapolis Race for the Cure.
