Breast Cancer Widower = St. Valentine?

That's what you may think about the grieving millionaire Henri Zimand, who lived a cinderella love story with wife Anda, who died of breast cancer, has dedicated his life to creating awareness of the importance of love and cure breast cancer.

For Valentines Day 2005, Zimand, offered New Yorkers 500 free carriage rides in Central Park and gave the winner (NYPD cop John Briano and wife Kathleen) of the love letter contest a first class trip to Monte Carlo. In 2006, Zimand challenges New Yorkers and the world to get romantic -- particularly on Valentine's Day, which is less than 30 days away. This year he is upping the ante, offering 1000 romantic carriage rides in New York City and opening the love letter competition to the world. 15 romantic couples will be flown to New York and all finalists will be eligible to win prizes ranging from trips, iPods to jewelry.

The millionaire widower Zimand is personally paying for the entire promotion, a non-commercial venture. Every year he and his wife came to New York for Valentine's Day and took a romantic horse and carriage ride in Central Park. "My hope is to spread the word of how enduring love and support can get you through the hardest times. Love is the most important thing in life," stated Zimand and "Valentine's Day is the day to express your love."

Zimand's generosity does not end with the contest winners -- for each of the first 10,000 letters received, a donation will be made in Anda's name to a cancer research or treatment facility in the area in which the letter was written.
