102122 Today is National Mammography Day…

Today is National Mammography Day…

An important day for individuals and families everywhere because annual mammograms

are key to early detection.

According to the National Cancer Institute, when breast cancer is detected

early and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.  

Mammograms matter.  

Early detection methods also include breast self-awareness and getting regular clinical

breast exams.

If you haven’t scheduled your annual mammogram yet, today is the perfect day to do so. 

It is also a day for listening and learning. 

We are honored to share a powerful blog post from our founder, Janelle Hail.

Janelle is a 42-year breast cancer survivor. In her blog, she shares what she’s 

learned after 42 mammograms, as well as her hope and commitment to “shine a bright light” 

on the darkness of cancer.

“My regiment of annual mammograms has continued forty-two years, along with taking

care of myself. I thought, If only I had one day without thinking of breast cancer a 

thousand times, I would be so happy.”

After reading about her real-life experiences, I hope you feel inspired to take charge of

your breast health today!

After you schedule your mammogram, take the Mammo Pledge to add your voice to

the count! 

Already scheduled? Add yourself now!

Warmly,

Cinthia Gonzalez

083121 Do You Know the Whole Life Story?

  Change comes at us from every angle as people update and upgrade everything from their diets to their devices, seemingly every day. When we enter adulthood as a young professional, we never imagine that we are only a couple dozen phones or a handful of trendy diets from marriage, parenthood or even retirement. Diets and devices can be great, but not all change is good, right? At every stage of life, financially confident people know that they can embrace the good and safeguard against the not-so-good with solutions designed to do just that. Enter: whole life insurance. Not just your parents’ insurance, whole life can actually benefit you no matter where you are in life.    THE BEGINNING: YOUNG PROFESSIONALS    When we’re young and focused on our dreams, we rarely consider the possibility of an unexpected, devastating change. What would happen if you died prematurely? It may be unsettling to think about, as it would be very painf...

But when Tom was tragically killed in a snowmobiling accident at just 45, the world collapsed for Jeanie and the kids.
