October 19th- "Gift Yourself"


It’s here, the first National Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day! The event my Mom and her beautiful friends have been working so hard on is TODAY! For my friends and family who are in Kelowna check out the city buses around town, as the “Gift Yourself” photo will be on the buses as a wrap around banner. Check out the website for events around your city. http://www.bra-day.com/index.php

Wishing everybody a happy day, be grateful for what you have, I know all these special ladies are!

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?
