DRAPER, Utah, Oct. 7  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Walgreens and aVinci® Media (OTC:AVMC) (BULLETIN BOARD: AVMC)  have launched a national initiative to raise vital funds and awareness for breast cancer research and support.  On Oct. 7, Walgreens will offer aVinci's My Personal Movie slideshow DVDs, which normally retail for $19.99, for only $1.  One hundred percent of the purchase price of this item will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and Breast Cancer Network of Strength® and their missions in the fight against breast cancer.

Not only does this initiative support efforts to address breast cancer, but it also provides breast cancer victims and their families a compelling way to share their personal stories of courage and inspiration.  My Personal Movie brings your photos to life by effortlessly creating stunning slideshows with pictures put in motion and set to popular music.  Available nationwide at more than 7,000 Walgreens Photo Centers, My Personal Movie DVDs are easy to create using a touch-screen kiosk and are ready within an hour.

One single story can inspire, teach and provide hope for millions of women and men across the globe. And whether it's a story of survivorship, or information about innovative research or complementary treatments, the power of someone's experience can have an impact greater than could ever be imagined.

Walgreens and aVinci's support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and Breast Cancer Network of Strength® reflects each organization's deep commitment to support those diagnosed and receiving treatment for breast cancer and the research efforts to find a cure.
