Oh I so need a new fridge! I have yet to mention in my blog posts that for the past couple of years my electric bill has been through the roof. We have cut back on our electricity usage and nothing changed. The electric company even questioned what we were doing to cause it to nearly double in kilowatt usage. The only thing we could think of was our fridge, we feared {at the time} that it may be dying. The electric company only confirmed our fears, they did say a fridge that is dying may be pulling more electricity – oh yeah it does – and it has for the past two years!

We have been saving but there are other priorities like food on the table, car issues, children’s doctor and dentist visit payments, etc etc! The wonderful joys of being a parent and living in a tight budget household makes it hard to afford a brand new fridge, so our debate has been do we save money for a new one or do we buy an old one and take the chance of wasting money on a fridge that will not improve our electric bill? We decided to save for a new one, and now having a chance to WIN a new one while helping raise funds for ovarian cancer research?! I am game, and I hope you are too!

When I heard about this Electrolux French Door Refridgerator from Mom Select, I knew I not only had to enter to win, but I had to tell my loyal readers {that’s YOU} more so they could enter to win as well!

The Virtual Lemonade Stand is helping fight ovarian cancer, and YOU can help too. All you have to do is visit Electrolux, click on the virtual lemonade stand campaign and register for free to create your own stand. For every stand that is created, $1 will be donated to Ovarian Cancer Research Fund {OCRF} and you may even sell virtual lemonade to raise more funds for OCRF, how fun is that?

As a little girl I had always wanted to have my own lemonade stand, and now thanks to Kelly Confidential I am able to have my own virtual lemonade stand and better yet it will help raise funds for a good cause – it’s simply a win win situation!

As a way to learn more about how serious ovarian cancer is in the United States, I decided to look up some stats, and thanks to the National Cancer Institute website, I was able to find the following stats about ovarian cancer:

• Estimated 21,500 cases in 2009 in the US
• Estimated 14,600 deaths in 2009 in the US

That’s some scary stats! Especially since I, myself, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer causing cells twice now. During my first and last pregnancy I was told to have cells at medium to high risk for cancer, luckily the cells went away on their own after just under a year of watching them closely and visiting my OBGYN frequently. This is not the case for all, not every woman is as lucky as me to have these cells appear and then just “go away” on their own, and I often wonder – “did they really go away”? I wonder “will they come back”? It’s scary not knowing, and if I can help raise some funds so we can have more ovarian cancer research and possibly save another persons life – I am up for spreading the news to all!

I invite you to enter to win an Electrolux French Door Refrigerator, but better yet I invite YOU to create your FREE lemonade stand to help raise funds for Ovarian Cancer Research, but first I want you to take a peek at my virtual lemonade stand.
