Pink for October is not just about web sites changing their color to pink for the month of October. Since most of the sites involved will be blogs, this is a chance to talk; to become educated on the subject of Breast Cancer, then turn around and educate someone else. I am not sure what else in the world can do that easier than a blog.
Write About It
At the same time, we’d also like to hear specifically from you, on a more personal note, about how Breast Cancer has affected you, how it changed you, and what you do differently because of it.
If you research it, had it, have it, or love someone who falls into these categories… please join Pink for October and share your story.
The site admins will be editing (spelling and grammar mostly) and publishing the stories. We will delete anything that does not fit the spirit of this event. Who decides what the spirit is? Well, we do. I am only writing this because I can imagine people who will take advantage of our hospitality. Not you of course. You’re not a spammer.
Video About It
Obviously video isn’t new :) but this year Pink for October has partnered with Viddler to make it easy for people to share their story via video.
Go to Viddler, sign up, join the Pink for October group, and record directly to Viddler with your webcam. Viddler also makes it easy to upload your videos too, but the direct record feature is pretty slick.
Make sure to tag your videos with “pinkforoctober.” We’ll be pulling back all the videos that are added to the group to this site as well.
Many thanks for your participation in this event and for sharing your stories with us.
