Please spread the word about this wonderful service for those going through chemotherapy.  

If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning - once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service.   This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It's our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.   [ http://www.cleaningforareason.org/ ]http://www.cleaningforareason.org/ You may not know someone going through chemo, but someone on your email list might. Please forward. Thank you and have a blessed day,

Welcome To The Jgreene Nonprofit Project!
A Non-Profit Health Promotion & Healthy Living Organization Striving to Improve Mental,Social, & Physical Health in Our Youth! http://www.behealthconscious.org/



"I am Jgreene, nonprofit work is my passion". I am Jamal Greene, a Health Science graduate of The Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN. I have a passion for Public Health and getting the knowledge I obtain out to the general public. I enjoy topics in health care that include Health & wellness, Politics in Health, Sexual health, and more. I have participated in numerous service learning projects and have worked directly with many local Nashville and Georgia health agencies and non-profit organizations including the Nashville Health Department, Nashville Cares, Adventure Science Center, Inspire Atlanta, Greater Travelers Rest Orchestra and Street works!
My passion for being health conscious developed when I began to recognize the people I loved the most were being affected by sickness and becoming just another statistic in our world. I have lost many loved ones including both my Grandfathers,uncles, and mother to diabetes where 3.7 million African Americans (14.7 percent of all African Americans age 20 years and older) are affected. These events caused a shift in my thinking and I decided to take on health Advocacy in college and to pursue a Bachelors of Science degree in health Sciences.
My passion for health lead me to form an organization by the name of Be Health Conscious where our
mission is to improve the quality of life of the vulnerable people by health and wellness promotion, based on a collaboration of multi-ethnic communities, health departments, non-profit organizations, students and volunteers all working in a culturally respectful manner screening, promoting early detection of diseases, disease-management and follow up care navigation and clinical services by appropriate and services and access and health. Provide an inclusive framework of community organizations sharing good practices in health care.

Ron Artest to Donate ‘Dancing’ Money to Charity

Ron Artest to Donate ‘Dancing’ Money to Charity

Written by Daniel Buerge 

Earlier tonight Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest was named as one of the contestants on the newest season of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

According to Mark Medina of the L.A. Times, Ron Artest will be donating the money he receives from participating on Dancing With the Stars to charity.

Those familiar with Artest’s recent philanthropic endeavors may not find this to be much of a surprise. Last season Artest auctioned off his 2010 NBA championship ring and donated the money to a mental health charity.

In honor of his daughter, who successfully fought a wilms tumor, Artest said he plans to donate the money he earns on “Dancing with the Stars” to theCancer Research Foundation.

There has been plenty of discussion surround Artest and his questionable dancing skills, so tonight Artest said that he’s only participating for a cause.

But don’t count Artest out. He claims he’s ready to go and will be looking to win when the competition begins.

“I’m doing the Cha-cha-cha my first week,” said Artest. “We’re going to get past [the first round]. I want to work hard and see where it takes me. I don’t know how far I’m going to go, but I’m going to try.”
