Breast Cancer Awareness is a close-to-home cause for my mother and I. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, my mother, Amelia, switched to a macrobiotic diet, eliminating all animal products, gluten and refined sugars; a dietary change which led to the creation of our first “MacroBar” in our home kitchen. Over a decade later, she remains cancer-free and GoMacro has grown into an internationally-distributed plant-based nutrition bar company based upon the principles of her clean-eating, cancer recovery diet.
Breast cancer has affected so many lives, including my mother’s. Many people feel hopeless rather than empowered and don’t realize that they can be in control. The food we eat and the products we use everyday are major contributors to our health and wellness. That’s why we are excited to partner with Keep A Breast’s unique efforts to provide breast cancer education and awareness through their Non-Toxic Revolution (NTR).
The Non Toxic Revolution informs, educates, and inspires young people about the dangers of toxic chemicals in their environment and food supply - especially those linked to the initiation of breast cancer. The NTR program is both an informational resource and a call to action, backed by its own website.
During the month of October, we have committed to donating 10% of proceeds from specially marked Cherries + Berries MacroBars to The Keep A Breast Foundation to help support the NTR program. If you would like to support this initiative you can help by purchasing Cherries + Berries online at Amazon.com or GoMacro.com, Additionally, you can visit our store locator to find a retailer near you that carries the specially marked bars.
Wishing you a long and healthy life,
Jola
