My grandmother and aunt have both survived breast cancer. Regular mammograms and self-exams are the best ways to detect abnormalities early.
By A wonderful aunt lost her life due to breast cancer. I am glad that the Research Foundation has done so much to raise the awareness of breast cancer and getting the word out about prevention.
By What a great appliance! I'd love to have one!
By
When I was a kid, my grandmother had breast cancer and had a mastectomy. I think it taught me a lot about the dangers of the world, and that we could survive them if we have courage.
By What a great prize! Yes, breast cancer plays a part in almost everyone's life now...if not in their own, in their family or friends...for me it's been a few of my friends! I know I always check myself regularly for lumps...it's a good thing to keep on top of!!
By My mother was diagnosed with inflammatory lymphatic breast cancer (a very aggressive strain) when she was 56. It had already spread to her lungs & liver when she was diagnosed & her life expectancy was less than 3 months. She decided she wasn't going to give up, so she fought for over 2 years. I learned a lot from her experiences & know that regular breast self-examinations & mammograms are a very important tool in early diagnosis. I truly appreciate any company that supports breast cancer research. I would love to win a pink Dyson vacuuum, that could be a daily reminder of my mothers brave fight.
By
A good friend and professional mentor fought breast cancer a couple of years ago and won. But I was overwhelmed by what a difficult battle it was for her. I'm not yet 30, but do regular self-exams in the shower.
By My aunt & my mother-in-law have both fought breast cancer. I learned that even men can get breast cancer. Self- examination (both for men & women) is important, & women should have regular mammograms for early detection. Thank you Dyson for making a pink vacuum to bring awareness of this problem.
By
I love the pink dyson!
By My Mom had a mastectomy 25 years ago. We were lucky she had a great doctor who detected it early. I hate getting mammograms, but I know I have to do it every year!
By I forgot to leave my e-mail address. I'd love to win this! It's motik2000@aol.com.
By My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 53. She fought for over 2 years and passed away just before her 56th birthday. Unfortunately, my mother never was big on regular check-ups or mammagrams, but now, of course, I am.
By love it! doubledumplings@aol.com
By I am a 5 year survivor of Inflammatory Breast Cancer, quick detection of this rapidly growing cancer is so important. This cancer strikes younger women and has grown in percentages from 1% of women to over 4% and getting higher. I was so lucky to have detected this in time,from finding a redish lump visable on my breast. I want to help women become educated about cancer and detection and preventionl
By This is something I'd love to give to a friend.
By This is something I'd love to give to a friend.
By I'm 19 and haven't had to deal with breast cancer with any member of my family. I can only hope it stays that way for a long time. My Aunt would love the pink vacuum.
By I love this vacuum
By My sister has battled breast cancer 2 times. First battle was when she was 32, the age I am now. Her second battle was last year at age 42. What a great thing Dyson is doing. The MOST important thing you can do is a breast exam monthly mid menstrual cycle. Show the love to your breasts and they will hopefully be around forever. lizdehart@yahoo.com

As a nurse, I've seen many patients affected by breast cancer. Fortunately, we have wonderfully advanced medicine and when detected early, cure rates are very high. Obviously monthly self breast exams are crucial for EVERY woman! Consistency is key. You have to no normal to detect abnormal. Diet, exercise, and other preventive measures can help but early dectectinon is crucial. Any woman with a family history should advocate for herself by obtaining routine breast exams and mammograms as appropriate.
By
I was told by my doctor that I am more likely to find a lump by doing my monthly exams.
By
I have been affected by more than just breast cancer in my life, my father passed away from cancer (lung/brain). My mom had skin cancer (removed, thank God) and my Grandmother had cancer. My husband's young aunt was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and had the lump removed. She went through chemo and radiation. Her experience was truly an eye-opener for me.
By I would love to see if Dyson works as well as everyone says.
By
Both of my mom's sisters have had breast cancer, one has had it twice, and survived. A friend of mine is a survivor, also.
By
I heard these are the best!
By Oh my goodness! That is the most beautiful vaccuum I've ever seen. I would look so cute using it!
By These are great vacuums, and with four dogs I need one for all the sand they bring in, not to mention the hair they shed.
By I have a sister who has survived breast cancer. Make sure you get a yearly mammogram.
By i would lve a dyson, would make life aot easier
By This sucks.
By
What a great giveaway. I would love the pink dyson.
By
I linked to both of my blogs.
By What a wonderful contest to have to raise continued interest regarding breast cancer.
By
My maternal grandmother died from breast cancer. I have had some issues
By
I have been wanting one of these vacumes for some time. I love the pink color of this one.
By Like a lot of people, I've had a close friend who died of breast cancer. Regular self exams are best for early detection. Yea for Dyson supporting such a great cause.
By I would love a Dyson!
By Although I personally have not lost anyone from breast cancer, I think it's in the back of every woman's mind that she could possibly be a candidate. The Dyson is a wonderful prize!
By I have always wanted to try a Dyson !!!
By I'D LOVE A DYSON!
By I lost my Grandmother after a terrible battle with breast cancer. I am so glad to see sponsors like Dyson take up the mantle of the fight.
By Ahh, the coveted Dyson. And the cause and color make it even more so!
By
Way to go Dyson!
By
my aunt died of breast cancer a few years ago and has definitely made our family more aware of early detection.
By
Breast cancer has affected my life through my mother, aunt and grandmother. All survivors. But scarey... I feel like I am just waiting my turn.
By
Even if I don't win this adorable vacuum (can vacuums Be adorable?), I plan on buying one.
By
Although I am still what I consider to be fairly young, I have had two friends diagnosed with breast cancer. I believe that awareness is key and this is just another way to do that. As for ways for early detection - self breast exams, mammograms, and self-awareness is key. In addition, we cannot live in fear. With knowledge comes power.
By
After my grandmother had a double masectomy due to breast cancer, I do self exams every month. Early detection is the key.
By
I'm grateful to say that out of the two breast cancer patients in my family, they are both SURVIVORS!
By
I've wanted one of these forever....could really use it this morning, kids just got cheerios all over the floor.
By I love the pink Dyson vacuum! I have had relatives with breast cancer, and I can truly say that it does not discriminate based on age, weight, general health, or any other factor you can think of. Self exams are a must - even if it can't be cured, you increase your chances of living longer and having more therapy options. Thanks! ncbookseller@yahoo.com
By
Pink so mod it will go lovely in my pink and blue kitchen. I have an oreck but I need an upgrade.
By
I posted your giveaway on my blogs here:
By
Dyson's are awesome for picking up all the long hair of little girls!! Hope I win!
By
wow now maybe my DD will do the vacuuming! its so pretty!
By
Ohhhhh....this is soooo pretty...and I think it may be just the thing I need to get my 16 year old daughter to want to vacuum, since it can match her attire! LOL!
By What a great looking vacuum! I love that breast cancer awareness has become so widespread over the past decade. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 43. It was such a scary thing for my entire family to go through. She's been in remission for over 10 years and as healthy as can be. Self exams are absolutely critical, easy, and best of all, free. I urge every woman to take charge of their own health and commit to doing this every month!
By
I think this is an awesome item that any company can make and offer. Regarding breast cancer it has affected several women in my family 5 women have survived and I have a wonderful neighbor who is a survivor of a double mastecomy she is an inspiration to us all.. Cancer in a whole has affect my family loosing my father in 88 at the age of 44 I know how cancer can spread and affect so many lives. I would love to win this item cause for me it represents all those who have been affected and all the lives that cancer has changed. My blog is http://surroundedbyblessings.blogspot.com/
By I never had a chance to meet my mother-in-law, as breast cancer stole her from this world early approximately over 10 years ago. She was too young. I know my husband misses her terribly - and I have missed out on the whole mother-in-law experience. Now what Mother-in-law wouldn't want her daughter-in-law to vacuum more? I think I would with that hot lookin' pink Dyson! =-)
By What a great giveaway. Breast cancer scares me. I haven't had anyone close get it yet, but I make sure that my mom gets here mamograms, and this year, I will be getting my first as well.
By Ways to detect breast cancer: do your self exam every week I say either in the shower laying in bed or letting your husband exam you. I also feel that talking about it to your daughters, daughter in laws and friends. I have a 13 year old daughter who I have taught to examine her own body even though she is still developing there is no time that is to early where breast cancert is concerned.
By Great looking vacuum and nice that the pink can be associated with helping and thinking about breast cancer. This affects all women in some way, I have lost friends and have friends who are survivors of Breast Cancer. This is a very nice idea.
By
I have not been directly affected with breast cancer with family but have a friend that has survived breast cancer. Early detection by doing routine self breast exams and noticing any discolorations, pains, or anything out of the ordinary right away is KEY.
By
Pink has come to mean so many things, but the breast cancer campaign is top of mind. This is not just about being seen with the fashionable pink ribbon, it is about creating awareness about a terrible disease that affects women. Timely detection helps a lot, so please do a breast exam regularly. Also take time once a year to get a proper physical evaluation done by your family physician.
By My family and I walk every year in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women's Cancer. My grandmother died of the disease about 10 years ago, and then my aunt died about 5 years ago. We love getting together and supporting each other and helping to raise money for research to find a cure.

I've known people with different stages of breast cancer. Ways to detect it early: self breast exam, screening mammogram, MRI - depends on age and family history
By I'd love to win this sweeper.

My Mother got me started, going every year for a check up. She doesn't have breast cancer but she knows the importance of it and the effect it can cause on people. She has showed me the importance, and I as well try to tell everyone I know to go get mammogram.
By My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer when I was six, and my paternal grandmother was diagnosed when I was in my twenties (she luckily beat it!). I am conscious of the affect breast cancer can have on someone who knows it's in her family makeup...knowing to do monthly exams is the best way to detect early, if you aren't the age for mammograms (or MRI's, which have now been recommended as an early detection method). I would love to show my support for finding the cure with this pink Dyson vacuum! Plus my Roomba just broke...prncss.buttercup at gmail dot com.
By Luckily, breast cancer has never touched the life of anyone I love or care about. But, several other forms of cancer have touched my family. I think early detection is key. Although scary, finding cancer in the early stages can mean the difference between life and death.
By
I had a great-aunt who died from breast cancer when I was younger. I know that learning how to do a correct monthly exam is key in early detection.
By My great grandmother, my great aunt and my daughter's teacher have all be stricken. Last year for the first time, we were able to participate in our first (hopefully not last!) Relay for Life events, including baking cakes decorated with pink ribbons for a bake sale. Here's to a cure!
By My aunt is a breast cancer survivor. So is the nurse at the school I teach at. They both caught theirs very early by simply doing self exams and getting checked yearly. I'm extra glad the nurse has remained healthy - she's one of my favorite co-workers. To counter all the horror stories mothers at the school felt compelled to tell me about their own births, she came by the last day of school and assured me that I would do just fine delivering my daughter (due any day!). She said it's just like taking a really big poop. That's all. Honesty and calm like that are worth 1,000 Dysons.
By I've always wanted a Dyson and the pink one is tops. I've lost a friend to breast cancer and others are in treatment. Count me in!
By Early detection is always the key. My friend found a lump relatively early by simply doing self exams.
By I think it breast cancer effects all of us, we are all at risk. Having 2 daughters I fear daily that they are too. I do th monthly checks.
