Help Support The Brooks Campaign to Fund Breast Cancer Research!

We recently got a message from the folks at Brooks and we just had to share:

Now through December 21st, Brooks will help support the fight against breast cancer with each view of their video, "Dream." This is THE CUTEST video...and there's a great cause behind it!

Brooks will donate five cents for every view of the video between November 13, 2008, and December 21, 2008. They'll be counting views at the official viewing sites: brooksrunning.com and YouTube.com. We've included the You Tube vid below.

Once the views have been tallied, Brooks will donate up to a maximum of $25,000 to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, earmarked for the support of breast cancer research.  What could be cooler?  Well, this:

Next March, Brooks is launching Brooks For Her, an exclusive apparel collection in support of breast cancer research, awareness, and support. For each Brooks For Her item sold from March 1, 2009, to December 31, 2009, Brooks will donate 12.5% of the full wholesale price to three breast cancer-related charities: The Young Survival Coalition, Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Even cooler? Your vote at brooksrunning.com/bfh, between March 1, and December 31, 2009, determines how much of the total donation each of these groups gets. So buy, wear, and vote—there's no purchase necessary! It's great running gear, for a great cause.

Please use the "Share This Post" link in the upper right to send this on to as many friends as you can.  It can make a huge difference in the lives of thousands of women!

About Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center:

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center’s interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists and humanitarians work together to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other diseases. Researchers, including three Nobel laureates, bring a relentless pursuit and passion for health, knowledge, and hope to their work and to the world. At the forefront of breast cancer research, the Center focuses on the basic cellular mechanisms of cancer development, risk factors, genetics, diagnosis, early detection, prognosis, prevention, counseling, and treatment. More specifically, researchers are studying the impact diet has on breast cancer and recently found that the worldwide increase in breast cancer can largely be attributed to the adoption of a Western diet. They’ve also discovered continued use of hormone-replacement therapy increases a woman's risk of developing breast cancer. The Brooks Dream Video donation to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center will be earmarked specifically for breast cancer research.
