NAPLES, FL —  Elements Therapeutic Massage of Naples, located in The Collection at Vanderbilt, 2355 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Suite 146, Naples, Florida, is donating $5.00 for every massage session given during the month of October 2009 to FORCE, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered.

Schedule a massage session during the month of October 2009 to support FORCE! Doreen Zeneski, Owner of Elements Therapeutic Massage, is a cancer survivor who was diagnosed at the age of 36 with breast cancer. Doreen has set up a donation page in memory of her mother Judy Koch who passed away from breast and ovarian cancer. Doreen carries the BRCA 1 gene which gave her an 87% chance of getting breast cancer and a 47% chance of getting ovarian cancer. “I have had to make some very tough decisions based on my genetic mutation and FORCE was there to support me through the process. I don’t know what I would have done without this great organization.” Doreen said.
