An Update from Stand Up to Cancer

Did you know World Cancer Day is on February 4th, 2011? To support this awareness-raising initiative, SU2C invites you to spread the word and donate your Facebook Status.

This year's focus is on teaching children and teenagers to avoid UV exposure by being "sun smart." For more information on sun smarts or for more details on how you can make a difference on World Cancer Day go to http://WCD2011.su2c.org

Response to the Launch a Star Challenge in December was tremendous. Each and every tribute added to the SU2C constellation was truly moving and straight from the heart.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
