One year, I was waiting at the finish line of the SGK Three Day after 3 days of driving the sag wagon. While waiting for the walkers and the Grand Finale, I watched a group of small children waiting for their mommies to arrive. They all wore T-shirts like, "My Mommy is a Survivor", or "My Mommy is Kicking Cancer's Butt". I thought, "how very sad these children have a need for those shirts". My great nephew had one on, too. He lost his mommy, my niece, to breast cancer.I wear pink for her. I wear pink to support my son who is in his fifth and final walk: http://www.the3day.org/site/TR?px=2422359&fr_id=1831&pg=personal . It's not easy raising the money for the walk and for the FIGHT but, he has done it faithfully, Three years beside her and, now, it will be two years in her memory.
Pink is NOT my favorite color and doesn't look particularly good on me but, I wear it. I am wearing it as a fundraiser for my son's last walk, for my niece's memory, for the fight against breast cancer, and to, eventually, end the wearing of those T-shirts! Breast cancer should not be allowed to take daughters, wives, mothers, sisters, friends.
I hope that you will join me by donating a $1 for every day I wear pink. That's just $31 for the whole month of October. I am posting my photos on Facebook and will post the whole month's worth of photos here. Please, click the link. Donate. Be part of the fight.
