Text-a-Thon for a Cause!

Cancer awareness is very important to me. When I was 5 years old my grandmother was misdiagnosed with blood clots when in reality she had ovarian cancer. The doctor missed the window of treatment and she lost her battle a year later.

Today, Electrolux and Kelly Ripa are kicking off a unique “Text-a-Thon for a Cause” to support the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). Moms can donate $5 to the cause by texting “KELLY” to 85944 from their mobile phones (standard text messaging rates apply) – or by logging on towww.kelly-confidential.com. Also, each day you log on to the Web site, you are entered for a chance to win a luxury frontload washer and dryer from Electrolux in Turquoise Sky, the color of ovarian cancer awareness. Also, Mom Central is giving away an Electrolux washer and dryer in Turquoise Sky on the Mom Central site! Seriously I dream of a front load washer and dryer. Just ask my peeps who were with me at BlogHer. They know of my love. So go enter and if you win you can totally gift it to me if you don't want it :-)

During September, visitors to Kelly Confidential can also help spread awareness for this important cause by sending a virtual T-shirt to a friend. For every virtual T-shirt sent, Electrolux will donate $1 to the OCRF. You can also purchase a limited edition T-shirt designed by Ripa; 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the T-shirts will go to OCRF.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Electrolux and received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.
