October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month.! A month dedicated to driving awareness, remembering and honoring our loved ones, while working tirelessly to raise the funds to continue the scientific research needed to prevent and cure this deadly disease forever. If you have never been to a breast cancer event or walk you are really missing out. It truly is amazing to see how many individuals and families are getting involved. It is such a worthy cause and so many are compelled by many different reasons to get involved. When we decided to launch our Get Pink™ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign by donating $2.00 of every bottle sold to breast cancer research we were compelled by many reasons. However, the simple underlying truth is that Project Earth H2o is a company of action – our customers are people of action - and neither of us are comfortable sitting on the sidelines.
Stephanie Belvin Hopson is one of those "people of action." Stephanie is the team leader for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides against Breast Cancer Awareness – “Team Pinkie Promise” out of Virginia. We were first introduced to Stephanie’s passion for finding a cure on FaceBook where we found her posting articles, facts, and statistics in effort to drive awareness while at the same time working hard to motivate others to get involved. It was obvious that her passion was genuine and she was clearly reaching others with her message. We decided to reach out and ask Stephanie why this cause is so important to her, “It’s really hard for me to nail down one specific reason,” says Stephanie, “but I have just been deeply moved by so many stories of women, mothers, sisters, and daughters who are fighting breast cancer and who have lost loved ones of all ages. They have inspired me to take this action, and fortunately, I am just one of many.”
We were amazed that with her level of dedication Stephanie had herself not lost a family member to breast cancer and we decided to help sponsor “Team Pinkies Promise’s” October walk. “What I love about PEH2o, says Stephanie, is that they are much more than just a company…they are so passionate and dedicated to improving environmental, health, and social issues that it’s more like a great club – I feel that my voice carries more weight.” This is something that PEH2o Founder, Brian Denton can relate to, “PEH2o was founded on the principals of creating a collective of savvy and proactive people who want to make a positive difference.
Please join us in congratulating Stephanie on her passion, dedication, and relentless efforts to find a cure…not for herself, but for others.
Together we are making a difference!
