Awareness Jewelry
Jewelry designer Heather Maietta of Heather M Design is walking and selling jewelry - though not simultaneously I don't think - to help raise money for breast cancer research.

She is planning to participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day in Boston this August, but first she has to raise $2,200 to even be allowed to participate:

The desire to participate in the 2006 Boston 3-Day Breast Cancer walk was the inspiration for the Heather M Design awareness jewelry line. The company's founder, Heather Maietta, has developed a collection of pieces to include watches, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets that feature the pink ribbon, a symbol of breast cancer research and support. "By creating inspiring and unique jewelry geared towards breast cancer research, it increases awareness," states Heather. "If a person gets asked about a Heather M piece that they are wearing, it opens the door for discussion about why they are wearing it. It is my goal to use my designs as a method of prevention."

The Awareness collection is geared especially toward those who are looking for an attractive and fashionable way to show their support for a cure. The affordable awareness pieces range in price from $22.00 to $108.00, and are available at the newly-launched www.heathermdesign.com. 100% of all after tax proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, a long-time advocate for breast cancer education and research. This year, over 41,000 men and women will lose their battle with breast cancer. Heather M Design's Awareness Collection is a way to contribute to the fight against this deadly disease.

Heather Maietta not only talks the talk, but she also walks the walk -- literally. In addition to creating beautiful awareness jewelry, Heather is also a participant in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. Together, Heather and her teammates, Wild Women Originals, will take to the streets August 4-6, walking 60 miles in three days.
