After a long absence we are back to
help websites and
individuals to "Go Pink" for October. Our mission is a simply
one ~ to turn the internet Pink for October in an effort to
help bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about
breast cancer, and raise money for research.
Unlike corporations, our goal is not to make money. Our
hope is that you educate yourself about the many issues related
to Breast Cancer, turn your site pink in whatever manner works for
you ~ from selecting one of our free buttons or backgrounds to using
your own pink photo ~ then take that knowledge and spread it
forward.

October Wrap Up
Well
we're nearing the end of October and this means Pink for
October is also nearing it's end. It's been an a-m-a-z-i-n-g
month and I've learned so much. I met a lot of wonderful people and
discovered I could fit even more into an already packed schedule!
For me this was the first Pink for October where I
held the online reigns for the website. Although it was a new
journey it certainly was not a solo walk. We had several lovely
souls step up to help and...
Websites, networks, blogs and social
media pages around the globe are gearing up and going

Once again it is October
and your name is one everyone’s lips. The world has turned to a sea
of pink and large and small corporations and companies look to make
money based on your infamy and the fear that lurks in the hearts and
souls of women the world over. So many women, who buy this, support
that, donate to this fundraiser, walk for 2 days, run for 5
kilometres and all the while, hoping and praying that you and they
never come face to face. They can run from you but sadly too many
cannot hide.
You are a sneaky,
insidious devil aren’t you breast cancer. You hide where you
can and then....

Dedication & Welcome Message~
Few missions are without a dedication and mine is to my mother,
Loray Jenkins Repp, who lost her battle to Breast Cancer in 1974.
Long before the days of
mammograms
and
self examinations she
awoke one morning to find something present on her breast. A few
hours later she was in her doctor's office and a few hours after
that she was admitted to the hospital. What was meant to be a biopsy
the following morning wound up as a mastectomy, for which my father
had to make the decision while my mother lay asleep on the
operating table. This began what would become a nearly 10 year
battle with breast cancer. My mother fought this dreaded
disease so valiantly through most of my childhood but finally lost
in 1974.
The truth be told we were not close ~ she was tough and
neurotic and I resented her for that. I resented
her not being around and always seeming stressed out when
she was. But fast forward decades later and I now have
an appreciation for the personal....
