Charity News

A 15-year-old American has started a breast cancer blog to raise money for charity and boost awareness of the disease.

Annabelle Nwokenkwo launched Felorese.com, with the help of her brother, as a way to make her own contribution to society. The site which was created as place where females could blog about varying topics, also takes on a second purpose of raising money for women related problems or in this case $2 million for charities.

The goal of the program, which is called FBCI or Felorese.com Breast Cancer Initiative, is to raise the amount through a $5 donation from visitors to the site. Afterwards, the donations raised will be distributed to breast cancer charities. Under the plan, the money will be held in a Paypal account and will not be touched.

Breast cancer “is a disease that affects 1 in 7 females over their lifespan and it continues to kill thousands”, says Annabelle, “but even with the wide reach of the disease, many women are not aware of the reality and do not go for regular mammograms.” Annabelle hopes that the program and efforts will raise awareness to the disease.
