    Breast Cancer Awareness – Apparel That Gives Back @Ford

    According to a recent survey*, 61% of women reported that seeing someone wearing breast cancer merchandise makes them more proactive about their breast health.

    Warriors in Pink produces its annual apparel line in which it donates 100% of the net proceeds to breast cancer research and education. Consumers can select their charity of choice at check-out (including The Pink Fund, Susan G. Komen, Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and Young Survival Coalition).

     

    Highlights from the collection include:

    •  Kaleidoscope of Hope Scarf, rich with blue, green, gold, and pink jewel tones in various Warrior symbol patterns that complement any outfit

    • The bright pink Tote-Ally Courageous Tote includes an ever useful 8”x9.5” outside pocket as well as a 8.5” x 11” zippered interior pocket

    • There’s also the Stripes of Strength silk necktie and Power of Pink polo, which are modeled by two male breast cancer survivors being honored as Warriors in Pink Models of Courage, a cohort of survivors and supporters who’ve demonstrated strength and courage in the battle against the disease.

    Whole lotta pink @the3day – Breast Cancer Awareness

    I’m not a huge fan of pink but last year in July I was around 3 days of full-blown PINK. I registered for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. It is a 60-mile walk over the course of 3 days and I decided to walk in Boston, MA, one of many cities to choose from.

    Words can’t describe the unforgettable experience I had that summer as well as the previous year when I volunteered.

    *I volunteered with two girlfriends who one of them lost their mom to breast cancer*

    You meet many people and share laughter and tears, unforgettable stories, both men and women who leave an imprint of what they have gone through.

    There are so many little ways to make a difference, to change a person’s life, a friend’s life, or even a complete stranger’s life. The power that one can do with the decisions and choices they make is truly a gift.

    *Cute signs along the way. There were a bunch of different pit stops and they each had a theme of some sort*

    *Closing ceremony. Very moving and emotional and definitely a great feeling*

    I thought 60 miles was crazy but then when I saw the survivors walking 60 miles along with everything else they have been through, I knew I could do this. I knew those 60 miles and the yearlong fundraising I did would totally be worth it.

    October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I know the 3-Day is something that someone has to put time into but it’s great how there are so many other things a person can do to be one step closer to finding a cure.

    So many companies promote their products and donate those proceeds for research. Keep your eyes peeled and let us know what you do to make a difference. 🙂
