OTTAWA, Ontario. --- To help celebrate life as part of “Dancing in the Street with Cancer Survivors”, The Glebe Pharmasave Apothecary located at 778 Bank Street Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, will host a book signing fundraiser by cancer survivor, author Roslyn Franken from 11am to 8pm on August 18, 2007.

Franken will sign her 221-page, self-help book, "The A List: 9 Guiding Principles for Healthy Eating and Positive Living” and donate $5 per book sold to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. The public is encouraged to purchase copies of The A List at the event, personally autographed by the author, at a special “Dancing in the Street” price of $22 including tax (regularly $22.95 plus tax) in an effort to build better lives for themselves while supporting cancer patients and their families.

The “Dancing in the Street with Cancer Survivors” event will attract thousands to Bank Street where people will dance the afternoon and evening away to celebrate life! This unique and joyous occasion will salute mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, children, friends, neighbours and co-workers who have lived through the cancer experience.

“…Roslyn's personal stories of her struggles and triumphs with respect to her own health inspired me to follow her principles for healthy eating and positive living. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in improving their overall health and well-being.”, Jennie P.

About Roslyn Franken

Roslyn Franken was born to a mother who survived the concentration camps of Nazi Germany and a father who survived the Japanese slave labour camps as a Prisoner of War in Nagasaki, Japan. Roslyn’s mother passed away of cancer in 2004 after a remarkable and courageous 21 year battle. Diagnosed with cancer herself at age 29, Roslyn quickly learned that she inherited her parents' positive “survivor” attitude as she fought back to become herself a long-term survivor.

Approaching forty, Roslyn’s personal struggles with food, weight and lifestyle led to the creation of the principles that changed her life. By putting the principles into practice, she reached and maintains her current, healthy weight and continues to remain cancer-free. Roslyn now counsels, motivates and supports individuals and groups who want to build a better life through the practices of healthy eating and positive living, using the insights she developed and now shares in The A List’s 9 Principles.

Roslyn Franken is available for media interviews, guest speaking appearances, corporate functions and private counseling. Call (613) 843-0155 toll-free 1-877-852-5852 or send email to roslyn@theAlistbook.com. For more information and to purchase The A List, visit www.theAlistbook.com.
