Tickets Selling Fast for The Crazy Sexy Pink Fund Luncheon Featuring Kris Carr, NY Times Best-Selling Author & Wellness Warrior

When New York Times best-selling author of the Crazy Sexy Cancer books and self-acclaimed "Wellness Warrior" Kris Carr takes the stage Oct. 1 at the Crazy Sexy Pink Fund Luncheon at The Royal Park Hotel, metro Detroit will get first hand information on how this Stage IV Liver Cancer survivor transformed her health and life through diet, exercise, and mindful meditation.

The event benefits The Pink Fund, a Michigan based charity that makes direct bill payment for breast cancer patients in active treatment who have lost all or a portion of their income due to their treatment protocol. The 700-seat luncheon takes place at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, the Royal Park Hotel, 600 East University Drive, Rochester, MI 48307.

Kris Carr's uplifting TLC and Discovery Channel documentary, Crazy Sexy Cancer, and the companion book series, have been deemed the "must have" guides to rebuilding the body and spirit during and after cancer.

The luncheon is preceded at 9:30 a.m. by a special yoga class for 100 participants, facilitated by Jonny Kest of The Center for Yoga with assistance from Kris Carr.

"Many of us embrace a new healthful lifestyle after our diagnosis," states Pink Fund Founder Molly MacDonald, a 6-year breast cancer SurThrivor.™ "We are learning that developing these habits could be beneficial in disease prevention across the board, especially given the extent of toxins in our food, homes, and environment."

Tickets are available at www.thepinkfund.org. Ticket prices are $75 for the luncheon and $100 for the lunch/yoga class. Ms. Karr will sign books in the lobby following the luncheon.

The event is sponsored in part by Whole Foods Market, Beaumont Hospital's Integrative Medicine Department, and Sola Life & Fitness.

When she learned that there were no resources available to assist her in paying basic living expenses, How can I get help? quickly changed to How can I give help? and The Pink Fund was born.

The Spirit Hunter and The Skeptic
A Special Halloween Presentation Featuring Sandy Arno Lyons and Robert Elmouchi

Baldwin Public Library (Birmingham) 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10
Southfield Public Library 7 to 8:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 12

Do you believe in ghosts or are you a hard core skeptic? Join author Sandy Arno Lyons and paranormal investigator Robert Elmouchi for a spooky evening of ghostly tales and a scientific look at the paranormal. Sandy will talk about her search for places in Michigan that are known to be haunted and Robert will talk about how a scientific investigation of the paranormal could change our understanding of nature and lead to new technologies.
Sandy Arno Lyons, author of Michigan's Most Haunted, A Ghostly Guide to the Great Lakes State, will talk about her search for haunted places in Michigan that are also accessible to the public. This was an important detail as Sandy wanted readers to be able to experience these places for themselves if they so desire.
After some serious snooping, Sandy was able to interview patrons, employees and owners of various Michigan hotels, restaurants and bars to get first-hand accounts of unexplained phenomenon.
Sandy will speak about her book, Michigan's Most Haunted, A Ghostly Guide to the Great Lakes State, which features more than 25 true tales from eight properties along with history, pictures and contact information. Sandy will share tales that are not embellished, but still make your skin crawl and hair stand on end.
Robert Elmouchi, scientist and founder of Paranormal Investigators Group, will be presenting his speech Why We Should Investigate the Paranormal. He will talk about how superstitions, mythologies and beliefs in the paranormal have evolved over centuries into bona fide fields of scientific research.
Alleged paranormal phenomena continue to be reported in modern times. Although most are actually the result of misperception or an overactive imagination, some mysterious phenomena worthy of an investigation are happening right here in southeast Michigan.
Robert will explain how a real scientific investigation differs from what is shown on popular paranormal investigation television shows. He'll also discuss plans for an upcoming investigation and how members of the audience can participate.

Andrea King, author of the new book "Patient Stories: Coping with Life-Changing Illnesses," will host a book signing from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 28 at the Tuscan Café, 101 S. Lafayette St., South Lyon.
Through a compilation of real-life examples, the book gives the true voice and encounters of people who have been diagnosed with various chronic diseases or illnesses, and what they do on a day-to-day basis to remain healthy.
King tackles the topic by giving a first-person narrative for each story that leaves the individuals tone of their experiences.
When Ralph Bear was diagnosed with leukemia he was told by an oncologist he would be dead by 65. He was also told there was nothing he could do to strengthen the odds.
More than 14 years later, Ralph has outlived his cancer diagnosis and went on to create the idea of Patient Stories to help others in need.
What started with one man's vision to keep himself on a healthy track ends with a journalist who has met with people around the country to hear--and share--what they have and continue to go through, as well as what their health and life means to them today.
From what began as the website http://www.patientstories.com has now evolved into Patient Stories.
