Kick Cancer's Ass

[naamah_darling]

Taking a moment to plug a worthy project.

If your friend had cancer, would you strip naked and pose for a benefit calendar? I thought you might.

If the idea of real cheesecake featuring real women posing for a worthy cause appeals to you, go take a look at limeproject.org, where you can meet Heather, who has Hodgkin's lymphoma, and her brave

I had a blast hiking up into the middle of nowhere, getting leaves painted all over me, and posing nude while hoping no one else came up the trail. (I'm May.)

And for a good cause!

I bought five myself. As well as the time and money I put into the project.

Thanks for the linkage!

Thanks for passing it on!

Definitely leaving word about this in my LJ -- wonderful cause, and a wonderful chance for us bigger girls to feel beautiful and worthwhile.

Thank you! We are operating pretty much on word of mouth advertising so every mention is a fantastic thing.

Glad to see you supporting this and spreading the word! :-)

and fyi, it is Hodgkin's lymphoma, not non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma's what my mother died of.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. However, my statement was from where I pointed out to Naamah that she had Heather's diagnosis wrong.

[trialia]

*nods* Yup. Two different things. And don't be - she fought it for a long time. Both types can be beaten. What treatment is she looking into getting? Mum had an allograft that would have worked had the hospital not committed gross negligence post-op...

Now that? That's cool. Too bad it appears to be gender specific - always one of my issues with sites containing nudity, that gender specificity - but good cause. Thanks!

[onceupon]

Gender specific in that it includes only women or gender specific in the way it is being marketed?

[wetdryvac]

The former, so far as I can tell.

Okay, just wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying.

It's true, there are only women featured in this calendar. I don't know if that was an economic consideration (as awesome as a mixed-gender calendar would be, it's not a proven seller) since the goal was to make as much money as possible to pay for Heather's treatment or if it just came down to only women volunteered.
