| Young Survivor's Conference
|
 |
I recently exhibited at the Young Survivor's Conference in Jacksonville, Florida
in February. There was an incredible amount of energy, hope and courage
gathered in one place. I met new survivors, rekindled my relationship with
long-term survivors and connected with a number of new and exciting vendors.

Greetings!
There are a couple of exciting events being planned for the spring. On April 27th, we are having our first Bowling for Boobies in Los Angeles. It will be a fun packed afternoon of bowling and raising money for Pink-Link. If you won't be in the LA area, you can still participate in the fundraising process, so please watch for our invitation by email at the end of the month. We are also planning a special Mother's Day promotion with the nonprofit organization, We Are Linked. By shopping on their website, www.wearelinked.org, and spending a minimum of $100, all profits will be donated to Pink-Link and a special gold pendant necklace will be donated to a breast cancer survivor! It's the perfect way to shop for Mother's Day. An email will be sent out detailing the promotion. Take care and I hope you're feeling well, Vicki Tashman Founder Pink-Link |

 The Importance of Hydration
by www.PLWC.org
Dehydration occurs when a person does not
take in enough fluid or loses too much fluid. Without enough water, the
human body cannot function properly. In particular, people undergoing
cancer treatment may be at a higher risk for dehydration due to
treatment side effects, such as diarrhea and vomiting. Learning how to
stay hydrated, and recognizing and treating dehydration before it
becomes severe, are important steps for good health.
