April 20, 2009 - One in five women suffer night sweats. Due to menopause, breast cancer treatments, medications, disease, pregnancy or just a high internal temperature, women everywhere experience night sweats. With summer coming and hot, humid nights and the goal to keep the A/C low, sleeping will be a challenge.
Haralee.Com, started by Haralee Weintraub, is a company that caters to women with hot flashes and night sweats using unique wick-away fabric that designers traditionally reserved for use in athletic clothing. Since her own battle with breast cancer, Haralee launched her company when drenching night sweats deprived her from a good night sleep and threw her into menopause. The company was recently the article of a story titled, “Woman Turns Hot Flashes into Hot Sales” in the Oregonian newspaper.
The company is popular, and women appreciate the fashion-and-function aspects, but they want more: they want to talk about it. “The women who purchase my clothing are all going through intense physical (and sometimes mental) changes. They come from all backgrounds and provide insightful, refreshing perspectives," says Haralee, who started a blog to share some of the advice and the funny stories that the women share. “I love your blog!" wrote in Taylor Mallory, Editor of Pink Magazine. At Mallory's request, Weintraub is now a contributing blogger for Pink.
Haralee as a board member of the Clara Jean Foundation, representing the survivor perspective, has accepted to be secretary for the year. The Board meets monthly to discuss new ways to offer women their support and to examine organizations to which they provide financial aide. “Haralee’s expertise in the field has been incredibly valuable,” states Melissa Brue, the Clara Jean Board Chair who first discovered Haralee on-line. “She is a great help facilitating and supporting our vision to reach as many women as possible. She also helps us fine-tune our message and strategize on the best ways to direct our funds," continues Brue.
Haralee will be profiled in the 2009-2010 edition of Montclair Publishing’s “Who’s Who Among Professionals and Executives.” She also works as a trained speaker for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. "This gives makes me privy to breast cancer data and information about what is happening with research and what the government involvement is doing. When women ask questions, I like to be able to give can them concrete answers," Weintraub explains.
