Local Coffee Roaster Introduces Bald Lady Coffee to Aid in Fight Against Breast Cancer

 

Cafe Cartago Owner's Personal Fight Prompts Introduction of Specialty Coffee to Support Survivors

Two years ago, Lynda Larsen and her husband Steve embarked on the life-changing experience of owning a small business. The couple bought Cafe Cartago, a Denver-based specialty coffee company.

Two months ago, they embarked on the life-changing experience of fighting cancer. Lynda was diagnosed with breast cancer in August.

Within days of the diagnosis, Lynda and Steve came up with their latest specialty, Bald Lady Coffee.

In an effort to help woman cope and deal with the financial strains of fighting the disease, the couple will donate the proceeds from the sale of Bald Lady Coffee to various organizations supporting this cause.

"Not only does this disease exact an emotional and physical toll from surgery and rehabilitation," Lynda Larsen said, "it can also present an enormous financial burden for survivors who are unable to work and/or have inadequate insurance. I have been fortunate to be blessed with a large support network of my husband, family, and friends, but not everybody can say the same."

Bald Lady Coffee sells for $8.99 per 12 ounce bag and is available in regular, drip grind. Free shipping is included for orders of 6 or more bags.

To purchase the coffee, call (303) 297-1212 or visit baldladycoffee.com.

The site also lists Denver-area locations where Bald Lady Coffee is sold.

The coffee will also be available this Saturday, Oct. 22, at Java Fest in Aurora, Colo. Cafe Cartago will feature its coffee at the outdoor festival at 9898 E. Colfax Ave.

The event will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Cafe Cartago is proud to team with various organizations to help women pay for the necessities of life during their cancer treatment.
