*** Congrats to comment #35 - Cheryl, the Lucky Ladybug ****This year I've been particularly impressed by how widespread the breast cancer foundation support has been. Products in every category have gone pink for October, really driving home the message that we all need to unite to fight breast cancer.
But beyond all the pink fleeces and mugs, the real impact of Breast Cancer month is the stories. Hearing the voices of the survivors and their families is what makes the importance of fighting this disease hit home.
The Pink Together website has compiled thousands of breast cancer stories and impart a powerful sense of hope to all who visit. I guarantee that you will be moved by the accounts there written by doctors, patients, and families. You can search by location to read about others who have been affected by breast cancer in your area. After reading, you can leave a comment on their profile or send them a virtual flower of hope.
To support Pink Together, General Mills is donating $2 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and is turning the packaging pink next month on an assortment of its most beloved brands. General Mills will also donate $1, up to $20,000, each time you post a comment of encouragement, send a virtual flower bouquet or share a story on PinkTogether.com in October.
To spread awareness of this important website, MyBlogSpark has given me an Inspiring Hope Gift Basket that includes a sleeved travel mug, a running ribbon charm bracelet, a pink leather strap keychain, a pink cinch bag, and a set of inspirational note cards. All of the gift basket items are from ShopKomen.com, where 25 percent of the merchandise purchase price benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in the fight against breast cancer.

I am a breast cancer supporter every year- my grandmother passed away in 1996 after a long battle with breast cancer. I have my yearly mammograms.

The Pink Together site is very inspirational. I've read through many of the stories, but can't read much without tearing up.
