This particular campaign makes me smile a bit, as I’m publishing this post on the 1-year anniversary of my father’s passing due to cancer – he was a master licensed plumber, who often recommended to me the Grohe brand of plumbing fixtures whenever a home improvement project popped up. You’ll laugh, but I did in fact get a toilet and a kitchen sink as ‘gifts’ once from my father. So odd as it may seem, a Grohe LadyLux3 Kitchen faucet just might be the gift that keeps on giving….

In the fight against breast cancer, there are many celebrities speaking out or raising awareness, and many more mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, aunts, friends and spouses who simply want to share their story, support breast cancer awareness and raise money for many deserving breast cancer organizations and charities.
