Be sure to check out my earlier post for exciting announcements!
Pink is a very powerful color in my world.
Two years ago (August 2006), my Mom was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. I, of course, knew about cancer "back then", but had never heard of this type of breast cancer.
When it hits your world - your family - your best friend ... you are shaken to the core. And while I may not have done much in the past to support finding a cure... I was suddenly compelled to help find one!
So, as of August 2006, I have thrown myself into finding a cure & researching breast cancer - all types and stages (for men & women).
I started a team, called Paint the Town Pink to raise funds for Passionately Pink for the Cure as well as Race for the Cure (both events support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation)
More recently, my Mom has received news about the cancer spreading (and while I won't go into details here) I'll just say that it's a true wake up call to life.
RAK (Random Act of Kindness) Request: If you'd like to send a card to my Mom - please visit this forum on Splitcoaststampers.com
During the entire month of October, I plan to "go pink" on my blog. Thus, the color change for my header and side bars, if you haven't noticed the change already.

What an incredible tribute to one of the most incredible people in the world . . . your mom and my sister-in-law. I'm a tad choked up at how devoted you are. Hugs Auntie.
The pink card is fantastic.

Hi Kris~Great card! Thanks for sharing your story and the links! My step mother is a breast cancer survivor so I try to share what I can and raise money too! I would love to share your blog and the links on my blog, would you mind me doing so? I always like to ask before I do that just in case. I will keep your mother in my prayers!
