Cleaning for a reason
October 2009 marks the 25th anniversary of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The organization behind the designation is a partnership of national public service organizations, professional medical associations and government agencies working together to promote breast cancer awareness, share information on the disease and provide greater access to screening services.
Many cancer patients face challenges when their immune system is under attack.
The Soap and Detergent Association is a proud supporter of the Cleaning For A Reason Foundation, the Lewisville, Texas – based organization which offers professional housecleaning services once a month for four months to women undergoing treatment for cancer – at no cost.
"Having a clean home when you have cancer is a relief to my patients," said Dr. Kandace Farmer, a practitioner at Solis Women's Health, a breast care center in Denton, Texas. Dr. Farmer is a member of the Foundation's board of directors.
"Cleaning For A Reason provides peace of mind to women undergoing treatment for cancer so that they can concentrate on their health. Ensuring that patients have a clean environment when immune systems are compromised is a true gift that our partners are providing in 44 states," said Nancy Bock, Vice President of Education at The Soap and Detergent Association.
