Eat for Your Life at La Vita Bella

For 1 in 8 women in the United States, developing breast cancer isn’t just a possibility – it’s a reality. And the sobering diagnosis comes with many difficulties: affording medical treatment, living with painful side effects, and feeling as if you have zero energy. Zilch. Nada.

As caretakers, friends, and family members, it’s not easy to watch loved one’s struggle with the diagnosis. In fact, it can often result in feelings of helpless-ness.

For this reason, Paul Deschenes and the La Vita Bella staff teamed up with local organization Roberta’s Legacy to host a breast cancer fundraiser. After all, we aren’t helpless if we can come together as a community and support those who are battling for their lives.

On July 24^th, 6-9 p.m., you are invited to “Eat for your Life!” and learn how to optimize recovery with a food-based approach. The fundraiser will be hosted by La Vita Bella restaurant and includes a fine-dining experience featuring ketogenic and auto-immune inspired appetizers, salads, entrees, and dessert. Each course will be accompanied by a delicious and nutritious alcohol-free “mocktail” drink.

Live music will be provided by Pair of Three and renowned chef LeRoy Alvarez will prepare the 5-course dinner to benefit Roberta’s Legacy.

Tickets are $150 each and benefit Roberta’s Legacy. Founded in honor of Roberta Lozinski who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2015, the Longmont-based organization helps patients and their families get back on their feet by providing care, resources, and services through a network of legacy friends and partners.

Roberta’s Legacy provides financial assistance for integrative treatments, rent, groceries, car payments, gas, medical bills, and more. 100% of donations and proceeds received go directly to breast cancer patients and their families.

Included with your ticket is the “Eat for Your Life!” cookbook from the perspective and research of a caregiver of a loved one with breast cancer. The author shares his insights on nutrition, supplements, and other wisdom for an integrated care approach.
