Press Release Summary: Women who are going through cancer and menopause are
discovering a new support network on-line. Haralee Weintraub has recently been
recognized for her contribution.

Press Release Body: Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA (1888PressRelease) June 30, 2008 -
More than 40,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, but unlike the
old days when a cancer patient relied solely on information from a doctor and
support from their family, today there is an active on-line network of experienced
women who have survived cancer and are dedicated to helping other women who are
experiencing the same life-changing challenge. Haralee Weintraub is perhaps one of
the most active and innovative women in the community, and she has recently been
recognized for her valuable contributions to women with cancer and women who are
going through menopause.

Since her own battle with breast cancer, Haralee has launched the only company that
caters to women with hot flashes and night sweats using the unique wick-away fabric
that designers traditionally reserved for use in athletic clothing. The company is
popular, and women appreciate the fashion-and-function aspects, but they want more:
they want to talk about it. "The women who purchase my clothing are all going
through intense physical (and sometimes mental) changes. They come from all
backgrounds and provide insightful, refreshing perspectives,\" says Haralee, who
recently started a blog to share some up-to-date information, advice and funny
stories. "I love your your blog!\" wrote in Taylor Mallory, Editor of Pink Magazine.
At Mallory\'s request, Weintraub is now a contributing writer for Pink.

Haralee also accepted an offer to join the Clara Jean Foundation\'s Board of of
Directors as a representative of women with breast cancer. The Board meets monthly
to discuss new ways to offer women their support and to examine organizations to
which they provide financial aide. "Haralee's expertise in the field has been
incredibly valuable," states Melissa Brue, the Clara Jean Board Chair who first
discovered Haralee on-line. "She is a great help in facilitating and supporting our
vision to reach as many women as possible. She also helps us fine-tune our message
and strategize on the best ways to direct our funds,\" continues Brue.

In her spare time, Haralee continues to volunteer off-line as well: last week she
participated in an interview on the Donny Deutsch radio show and answered questions
for a documentary film maker who is working on a piece about menopause. She also
works as a trained speaker for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. \"This makes me privy
to breast cancer data and information about what is happening with research and what
the government is doing. When women ask questions, I like being able to give them
concrete answers,\" Weintraub explains.
