Look Good…Feel Better

Did you know that one in three American women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in her life? So even if you aren’t diagnosed with cancer, you are likely to know someone who is and see first hand the devastating effects it can have on them…emotionally and physically.

With cancer treatment, often comes hair loss and other changes in appearance related to the necessary cancer treatments! Look Good…Feel Better is a non profit program serving cancer patients…

It is a free, national public service program that helps women cope with the appearance-related changes of cancer treatment through workshops across the country, self-help materials, and other free information. Look Good…Feel Better is a collaboration of the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, the American Cancer Society, Inc. and the National Cosmetology Association.

Look Good…Feel Better is celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary.  In honor of this great event, they are looking for women cancer survivors to submit their stories of how the program helped them cope with cancer.  What a great way to encourage other women who are currently undergoing treatment themselves!!!

Entries will be featured on the Women of Hope is Beautiful blog to help educate others. Anyone can visit the site to view entries, make comments and show their support. In August, Look Good…Feel Better will choose five women with the most-compelling stories to receive a trip to New York City for a makeover and a trip to the DreamBall, a black-tie gala and the program’s largest annual fundraiser, held each year in New York City.

I encorage you to find out more about Look Good…Feel Better!  Recommend it to your friends, spread the word about this event and get involved if you have cancer yourself.  It is a great organization that truly helps women during one of the most difficult times that we can possibly experience.
