Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Laidlaws

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and here at Laidlaw's we are supporting this cause most notably with a portion of the proceeds of the sale of Pink Label items going towards Breast Cancer Network of Strength. Though there has been a statistical decline in the incidence of the disease, there is still the 1 in 8 chance one is personally affected or knows someone.

This year my mom decided to tell me about her breast cancer. She was trying to save me the pain of worry without realizing that early detection is one of the keys to recovery of the disease. Fortunately it was still very early, she had a mastectomy, and her biopsy was negative. She is due for her mammogram and hopefully things will go well.

You can help. One of our tech's mother, Sharon Brown, and a friend of the dealership (along with two other teammates) is participating in a 3 day walk. Check out www.the3day.org . From the home page click on "Donate to a participant" on the right side, search for a team, and sponsor "Cheryl's Dream Team". Help them meet their goal. Show your support because you never know when and you might be touched
