In October, I must admit, I LOVE pink. Most of the time I'm not a huge fan, but it's different this month. The local grocery store has pink plastic bags, and this year they are selling the pink reusable bags. At Target there are pink kitchen utensils and small appliances and a pink hair dryer. Breast cancer awareness is near and dear to the girls and I and wow - am I ever proud of both of them.
H’s volleyball team is sponsoring “Dig for the Cause,” a promotion in conjunction with the Breast Cancer Foundation. You can pledge an amount per dig picked up by her team or you can make a flat donation at the door before they play.
K is, once again, designing and ordering t-shirts printed for her team. She plans to do some additional fund-raising through this effort and even throughout the school year.
On top of that, my friend Kim is doing a 3-day breast cancer walk. She’ll walk 60 miles over the course of these days – how impressive is that! You can use the above link to donate to her fund raising effort if you are so inclined. She will do this walk in October 2009.
Breast cancer and breast cancer scares have touched our lives. A sister, a friend, a friend’s mother, and undoubtedly others we don’t know of. I think it's awesome that, for one month, there is endless attention paid to this disease. (And wow - I do like my new pink post titles!)
