I feel like I'm spreading a little hope when I wear my Brighton breast cancer bracelet. It catches others' attention and allows me to explain what all the dangling charms represent. That's hopeful. The dollars I spent on the bracelet help fund breast cancer research. That's hopeful. And the bracelet inspires me personally. It reminds me of my journey, of my path ahead. That's hopeful.

So this hopeful piece of jewelry turns out to be a perfect accessory. And so does the Color of Hope ovarian cancer bracelet -- a new, exclusive, charming piece created as just one of many items in a fundraising campaign for The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Presented by L'Oreal Paris, the bracelet features an "O" toggle clasp -- a symbol of love, endurance, life, and "O"varian cancer.

The Color of Hope bracelet, available in sterling silver with cubic zirconia or 14K white gold with diamonds, is available online for a limited time.

Other L'Oreal Paris fundraising products -- sporting the ovarian cancer color teal -- include make-up items for the eyes, face, and lips, a body lotion, and a teal RAZR phone program.

Because You're Worth It has been the L'Oreal Paris slogan for more than 30 years. It represents a celebration of women and was created as part of a mission to give back to women and to empower them as they make educated choices about their well-being. And so in the spirit of well-being, the company strives to help women fully understand a disease that strikes about 20,000 women each year in United States -- and kills nearly 15,000 of them.

L'Oreal Paris honors women and the pursuit of their health through The Color of Hope initiative. Because they're worth it.

Five women.  Five different stories and experiences.  Five breast cancer survivors.  All sharing their messages of struggle and hope and survival in ways they may not have imagined when they first gathered in September 2004 for a writing and theatre workshop with Sacred Cliffs Productions. They debuted a stage performance in December 2004 titled Bosom Buddies: An exploration of breast cancer in the words of survivors and were met with a tremendous response.  After much regional media coverage and offers to tour the New England area with their inspiring messages, Sacred Cliffs is committing their work to a screen adaptation called Getting It Off Our Chests.

Sacred cliffs are those moments we all know so well -- moments when something life-changing happens in our worlds and our only choice is to step off the cliff into uncharted territory.  We all handle these cliffs differently.  Some jump off with eagerness and excitement; some with uncertainty; some with fear and dread.  Regardless, we all have a story to tell once the jump is complete. Just like these five women who share with their audiences stories full of courage, laughter, fear, pain -- stories about life beyond breast cancer.

Getting It Off Our Chests, funded by a non-profit organization, is told by the women themselves, in their own words.  Already, thousands of people have witnessed the wonder of this performance -- a performance that will surely touch the lives of all who hear the empowering voices of these five women.
