The irony that my birthday is listed as "Healthy Lifestyles Awareness Day" is almost more than I can stand. Pass me another cupcake. And a cookie while you're at it.

Great list, thanks for posting this!

World Sickle Cell Day, June 19: My Mom died from complications from Sickle Cell. More awareness and research for a cure is needed for this disease. For more information on Sickle Cell, check out the following Web site:
