Happy October everyone! An estimated 23,640 new cases of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed this year in CA. About 4,220 people will die in 2011. Michelles Place served over 1,600 women last year dealing with the disease. This month is all about spreading the word about early detection and ensuring that women in our community know they are not alone. It's Breast Cancer Awareness month baby, be part of it!
 
What a great start to the month we had this weekend!  It all started at Brighton in Temecula where they hosted a launch party to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month and begin sales of the limited edition bracelet.  At the end of the evening, the Temecula store had the largest sales day in the country!  There are only 38 bracelets left!  Get yours today! $10 of every piece sold goes to MP. Michelle's Place has 10 bracelets available for purchase as well.  Thank you ladies at Brighton!

 A huge thank you to Laurie Cary and crew for a fantastic day in the dirt at MX Ride for the Cause.  We had a great time and raised some money for Michelle's Place.
