I will post something PINK in all my posts throughout the month of October.
Just my way of reminding...keeping it out front...helping to
FIGHT the FIGHT for the CURE.
LADIES, we must continue our fight against BREAST CANCER ! PLEASE continue to have mammograms, self exams and support the fight in every way that you can !
We MUST keep the fight against breast cancer alive ALL YEAR LONG...not just during the month of OCTOBER....
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today (after lung cancer) and is the most common cancer among women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.3 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer annually worldwide about 465,000 will die from the disease.
♥♥♥Breast cancer death rates have been dropping steadily since 1990, according to the Society, because of earlier detection and better treatments.

PINKS that join in the
FIGHT FOR THE CURE....
I don't have breast cancer nor anyone in our family has it. I do have two very good friends that have fought it ......and both have won their fight. Praise be to our Heavenly Father and for all the awareness that is going on now.
EARLY DETECTION is crucial ..

One of our local high schools even wears pink jerseys for one of their October games. And the stands are full of pink t-shirts that people have bought for the cause. Numbers do count. Thanks for a great blog today.
Way to go, BJ!

I had a mammogram in October 2009 & found myself in the early 2010 having 3 operations & the diagnosis of Breast Cancer. Then followed the radiation..... I am now at the age of almost 60 cancer free!!
Thank God for the technology of Mammogrames. They saved my life!!

My younger sister is a 2 yr Survivor. What a daunting, painful, fight it is but she is cancer-free now and LOVING life. . .Yoplait and Dannon Yogurt are both making contributions in the fight against Breast Cancer - all we need to do is enter a code that is on the inside of the lid (Dannon), and collect & mail in the lids for Yoplait. I eat lots of Yogurt so this is an easy way for me to help.
GREAT post!
Let's kick breast cancer to the curb!!
A great post on breast cancer. Warm wihes to you and hugs for all breat cacer surviors.
You go girl...you tell 'em! I've had my mammo and I encourage all others to do the same. We also talk to everyone about prostate cancer which can be detected with a simple blood test. My husband had it at 48, which is before the blood test is recommended. We tell men to go earlier than the recommended 50. Luckily, my husband did and it saved his life.
Hi BJ and thanks for stopping by...you will have to post the black and white check tiles in your kitchen - I'll bet it looks great! In my kitchen it wasn't that I didn't like it, but the previous owner installed it himself and did a very poor job of it. Very messy! Sooooo, it had to go! See what I mean?
We ought to have a "show you kitchen day"! I'll bet lots of bloggers have B&W tiles too!
xoxo

BJ, you have such generosity of spirit. As my daughter always tells me, "Cancer is a thief." As I tell her, "I believe that you will see many cures for cancer in your lifetime."
Sweet post my PINKY friend! My Grandchildren's School was having a "pink-out" at their football game tonight! Everyone was wearing pink:) Have a blessed evening dear BJ, HUGS!
A wonderful presentation on this very worthy cause.
What a great post, BJ!
My dear old friend is struggling with breast cancer and all the hope and horror of her treatment. There's not a night that I don't think of her and pray.
I will get that pink ribbon on my side bar pronto!
I try to buy pink whenever I can. I picked the pink tic tacs over the other flavor just because they were pink. Some item...but it all ads up!

I sent my donation today in honor of my 42 y o niece who had a double mastectomy last month.
There is no family history of cancer.
She is the mom of 4,. Her 6 y o son is severely brain damaged from lack of oxygen at 2 months. He needs so much care. I pray she will recover and regain her health, and that they will find a cure.
More money should go for cancer research than studies to find out why owls have spots. Who gives a hoot?
Have a great weekend!
A great post for the first pink saturday in October!
Great post BJ!! I am a supporter of Breast Cancer research. I had an Aunt with this disease and lost a good friend to it. I click on the pink button every day! hugs,Linda
Thanks for this wonderful post! I am with you all the way!
Namaste.........cj
This is a wonderful post BJ! I have not had breast cancer, nor has anyone in my family, BUT four of my good friends have. Fortunately in each case the cancer was found early because of a mammogram and each one of these 4 wonderful women are alive and well today. That is a fact for which I am so very grateful. Congrats to you for supporting and reminding us of such an important cause!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Wonderful post, BJ. The Komen run was today here. Lots of pink around town.
Susan G. Komen was in my sorority, and our sorority's national philanthropy is the Susan G. Komen race for the cure. Yoplait is also a sponsor, so don't forget to send those lids in!!!
Thanks for a wonderful post, BJ!!!

I clicked for the cure & the cause! My mother just returned from her check up at M.D. Anderson- twelve years cancer free and counting!!! I posted your fantastic words of encouragement and pink examples on my Facebook page. My blog header went pink last night and will remain in the pink for the entire month of October- Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My prayers continue for my mother, all survivors & those in, and facing, the fight. Healing thoughts & love!
Love all or your pink BJ!
Great to have such an important celebration be a part of Seasonal Sundays!

Great pink post BJ. Trish
Great, great post!
Thank you for this pink-ified post, BJ! It's wonderful.
Awareness is so important. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer nine years ago and she is still going strong.
And yes, to answer your question, you may add my name to your list. I think you may have done so already!
I see a Patti there...
P.S. I completed the walk yesterday! So proud of myself.
Pink is beautiful. Thanks for this post.
Many of my close friends and 2 sister in law have been stuck with this terrible disiease;love your tribute.
