    Help a breast cancer survivor win her dream wedding!

    I don't know about you guys, but I can never resist a good old-fashioned love story. Shine reader Deborah writes:

    Hi Erin,

    My name is Deborah Singer. I am a huge fan of your writings as well as the entire Shine site! I am writing to see if you can help out one of your female readers....

    I am a young breast cancer survivor and women's health advocate in Fayetteville, AR. I recently found out that I carry the BRCA1 (breast cancer gene) and my docs have me under high surveillance. Because of mounting medical bills, my fiance and I made a short video about our relationship and entered it in a free wedding contest. We've just been named 1 of the 4 finalists! If we get the most online votes between now and October 17, we will win our dream wedding!! BUT here's the deal - to win this wedding, we are going to need A LOT of votes.

    My fiance and I have a really romantic, inspiring love story. With Breast Cancer Awareness month beginning this Wednesday, can you profile our story on SHINE to help us get the word out? Any help we can get would be so appreciated.

    Blessings!

    Deborah Singer

    Duh Deborah, I'd love to help! So without further ado, here's the happy couple's video (and note they met online):
