October = Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Since today is October 1st I wanted to do a post about Breast Cancer Awareness. This is the special month when PINK is okay to wear everyday, when the Bay puts out their ribbon collection, when communities get together to do the run for the Cure (October 2nd for Kelowna & Calgary), and when charities all over North America pull together to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer. This is a special month and I always like to do my part somehow. Being in Europe tends to limit my options; fortunately I have found an organization in Kalmar that is putting on an event tonight to kick off Nationell bröstcancerdag. Tyler and I will go into Kalmar and help light up the Larmtorget (city square) with torches. We will light one in support of my Mom and the journey she is continuing to go through, and one in memory of my Grama Clifford and one in memory of Tyler's Grandma Mazzei. I’m looking forward to doing my part tonight even though I’m thousands of miles away. How will you show your support and contribute this month?

    Hi, Christie - I as well, am extremely proud of your Mom and count myself blessed to have her as a friend. We've been through a lot over the years, your Mom and I, and our friendship continues on! Happy days! Thanks on behalf of my sister, my aunt & my sister-in-law for your support. I have sponsored a friend and a family member in their Run For The Cure participation -take care!!

    Love this Chris and love you you have supported this for years. You have made a huge contribution to this cause. Throughout Europe (thus far), I am surprised of the GO PINK support. I have seen wineries, underwear and bras, candy bars and lots of jewlery stores all trying to support the cause.
