| Elemis is a luxury British skincare brand which claims to reach over 6.5 million people per year. I worked for this brand for 2 years as a Territory Manager covering the Southeast US. Shortly after returning from maternity leave in June 2015 my daughter was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma Cancer.
She received an emergency spinal surgery to remove part of the primary tumor which compressed her spine and caused paralysis. She then received 8 cycles of chemotherapy for the metastasized disease on her liver, lungs, kidney, skull, lymph node and bone marrow. While she was in ICU I communicated with Elemis regarding the emergency situation. HR, regional manager, and even the President of the company replied with prayers and well wishes. My extended FMLA request was then denied and I received a termination letter in the mail. The past year has been incredibly difficult! Not only did I lose the income for my family, but my daughter did not have private health insurance while receiving cancer treatment after I was fired. I wrote a letter to the owner and did not receive a reply. I have fought hard to get her to the best cancer center in NYC and we continue to travel every 3 months for follow up. The least this company can do is make a generous donation in support of childhood cancer research which only receives 4% of national funding. Gold is the color of childhood cancer awareness! Help us spread the word. Elemis promotes their “pink” products every October for breast cancer awareness month. I hope to reach as many of their 6.5 million consumers to raise awareness for not only my child, but all of the children in need of our voice for change! It is time to make this right, Elemis GO GOLD! Please sign and share. Facebook.com/ElemisGoGOLD twitter: @elemis_gogold instagram: elemis_gogold |

“Voting is the most important thing for us, especially this year. Take the environment into account…Your governor, Jay Inslee, is an acquaintance of mine and he’s a big environmentalist; he wrote a book Apollo’s Fire, it’s about the future and what people are doing to take care of the environment.”

Leonardo DiCaprio and director Fisher Stevens will release Before the Flood

On October 30th, Leonardo DiCaprio and director Fisher Stevens will release Before the Flood, perhaps the most important documentary on climate change in a generation. I had the opportunity to sit with DiCaprio during the COP21 climate summit in Paris late last year to explain the urgent connections between climate change and the global deforestation crisis. Specifically, we discussed RAN’s work to protect the amazing Leuser Ecosystem in Indonesia — spurring DiCaprio and his team to visit the Leuser and bring back some amazing and harrowing footage. You can see part of my conversation with DiCaprio in the film. Before the Flood airs globally October 30th on the National Geographic Channel in 171 countries in 45 languages. (The film will eventually be available free online for all to see — stay tuned for the details!) So please save the date and spread the word. Together we can maximize the impact of this hard hitting activist cinema.
