Once I have to fight cancer in my family when I was young... I was really young and even if it was not on my body, I felt the pain of loosing someone I loved so much because of cancer.
Maybe you think that there's nothing much you can do to help others that are facing this problem right now, but it's not true. In RL there's a lot of ways to help, but there is a very special way you can help having fun in SL!
Here there is more about it.
‘Fashion for Life’ is the longest running and most successful fashion fair in Second Life ™ and marks the annual start of the official ‘Relay for Life’ events that take place inworld each year.
All donations are given directly to the ‘Relay for Life’ general fund which benefits the ‘American Cancer Society’ and its thousands of beneficiaries who rely on the charity for support and advice.
Fashion for Life is a hundred percent not for profit, and all organisation, building work and coordination are driven by the work of its volunteers which helps to maximise donated money.
So what’s New for 2012?
This year, Fashion for Life spans an incredible TEN lag free sims with over 200 stores selling the latest fashions, accessories, hair and unique designer items made especially for this event. There will also be gacha areas, a hunt, a raffle and a SALE- all with the end goal of raising funds for the American Cancer Society via SL.
The sims will be laid out in a cross formation and will represent the theme “Its Time…” with builds representing stages in time: past, present, future and timeless. All building and landscaping have been created by some of SL’s top designers and builders to produce a beautiful environment for your charity shopping sprees!
Alongside the fabulous fashion, there will be a sim dedicated to providing a minimum of 12 hours entertainment and activities every day, so you can socialise, have fun and meet new people too.
Our sims have been kindly sponsored by ‘Dream Seeker Estate Corporation' which has drastically reduced admin expenses, helping to free up even more money for Relay for Life.
Harper Beresford, Fashion for Life Lead executive says:
"Fashion for Life is not just about fashion and it's not just about fund raising-it's about supporting the members of our community in SL who have been touched by cancer."
Cancer touches everyone. We sincerely hope you join us in this kick-off event for Relay for Life in SL, helping raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Please visit the sims, have fun, SHOP SHOP SHOP, SHOP TILL YOU DROP!!!! You know all these things you always wanted to buy? So go to your favorite designer store at the sims of Fashion For life and buy there!!!!
It's a way to show love, to support those that need support right now.
I can't fight cancer alone, it's heavy. You can't either. But we're very strong together!
Here is my beg for you to go and visit the sims and shop and donate... it's a meaningful act that can change some real person life.
Thank you for your time reading this post. I felt very touch in doing that.
Love,
Ayalla Alphaville
