[CONGRATULATIONS ANGELA BAILEY (#31) PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS!!!]
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and, in honor and remembrance of the brave battles being fought by way too many of my family and friends, I will be running a series of posts of ways in which we can each help, even in the smallest way, in the fight against breast cancer.
Why?
Because, cancer needs a good old fashioned virtual bitch-slap!
Today, I'm proud to partner with PinkTogether.com and tell you a little about their community -- the site is part of Pink Together®, a national campaign to support those impacted by breast cancer and to help raise awareness of the disease.
Aaaaand, I've got a pretty little gift basket to share with you...too!
I'll be honest, as horrible as this is going to sound, I have a real hard time finding the right words to say to a person suffering from cancer.
On PinkTogether.com everyone can share hope by posting and reading inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors and supporters within the community and, well, it's just ignorant of me to think that I would want to be treated any differently, by my friends, or family, either.
To support Pink Together, General Mills is donating $2 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and will also donate $1, up to $20,000 each time you post a comment of encouragement, send a virtual flower bouquet or share a story on PinkTogether.com in October.
The good folks at PinkTogether.com have also offered to send one (1) of our readers an Inspiring Hope gift basket, including: a sleeved travel mug, a running ribbon charm bracelet, a pink leather strap keychain, a pink cinch bag, and a set of inspirational note cards.
Because, nice matters and breast cancer sucks -- consider yourself bitch-slapped!
