Giveaway: Share Hope and Inspiration with Breast Cancer Survivors and Supporters on Pink Together (Closed)
This giveaway is now closed.
While there are many benefits, events, charities, organizations, businesses and people who have dedicated their time, their experiences, their inspiration and their money to helping in whatever ways they can in the fight against breast cancer, there are still very limited resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer themselves or who are close to someone who has been diagnosed to receive the support they need most. A diagnosis like this, regardless of the stage is absolutely terrifying, gut-wrenching, heart-breaking and truly difficult to go through, especially if you don’t have a rock-solid support system of various people around you who understand your grief and frustration and people who will understand while you go through the emotional roller coaster a diagnosis and treatment will send you through. But luckily, Pink Together was created just for this purpose.
Pink Together is a national campaign dedicated to supporting those impacted by breast cancer. Their website is a safe space where everyone can share hope and inspiration by sharing stories of breast cancer survivors and supporters within the community. Pink Together has already helped countless survivors and supporters of those survivors.

For the month of October, General Mills has come to the support of Pink Together and will be donating $2 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. They have also turned the packaging of some of their most trusted products pink for the month in an effort to continue to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Giveaway
Thanks to Pink Together and MyBlogSpark, we have been given the opportunity to give away an Inspiring Hope gift basket that includes a sleeved travel mug, a running ribbon charm bracelet, a pink leather strap key chain, a pink cinch bag and a set of inspirational note cards.
All of the gifts in the Inspiring Hope gift basket are from Shop Komen, where 25% of the merchandise purchase price benefits Susan G Komen for the Cure in the fight against breast cancer. All of these fabulous gifts will remind you of how important the fight against breast cancer is throughout the entire year, and not just in October when we spread awareness for breast cancer awareness month. I can also personally attest that the sleeved travel mug is the absolute best quality travel mug I have ever found.

I’m most inspired by my aunt who is currently undergoing radiation treatment for breast cancer.
The thing that inspired me the most about the Pink Together Community is the overpowering message of strength and hope. Years ago, breast cancer was a death sentence; today women are winning their fights against it.

I have a friend who is a breast cancer survivor. She has a spark for life and inspires all around here.
I have the best friend anyone could hope for, Carol. She inspires me with her incredible work ethic, she has survived 2 bouts of cancer and yet maintains and incredibly loving personality. You can’t help but love this woman.

My mom inspried me cause she had several strokes and kidney disease and fought so hard before she died.
My grandma inspires me because she’s 95 and raised 15 children!
i’m amazed at how the Breast Cancer awareness has grown within the last 10 years! The community continues to grow and promote awareness.
I promote bc awareness by reminded my friends to get their yearly mammo’s
My mother is the woman who inspires me the most because I look at her when I am having a challenge in life and knowing that she has conquered her own challenges gives me guidance and hope that I am strong enough to conquer mine as well.

my mom who takes care of my grandmother (who has been ill for the past three years) via long distance and my father (who is courageously battling colon cancer) is a hero to me. she is always there for us kids no matter what is going on with kind words, a shoulder, advice, whatever we need.
My mom inspires me. She’s a breast cancer survivor and I hope I can be as good a mom as she is!
My grandmother inspires me most. She was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, and she doesnt let it stop her. She is strong and wont go without a fight!
I subscribed on Youtube under the user name zairabear.
Another thing I do to help fight against breast cancer is donate money monthly to the Susan G Komen foundation!
The stories everyone told. Glad there’s such a site
My inspiration comes from my mother in law who set such a great example to us all.
Everytime I wear my pink t shirt I think of the fight for breast cancer and spreading the word.
My Mom inspires me the most. She lost her battle with Breast Cancer at the young age of 49 years old when I was just 19. That has been 31 years ago next month.
I follow on twitter annedoggett
I contribute to Breast Cancer related charities and I am planning on participating in a 5k walk/run for Breast Cancer with my sister and niece.
My aunt is one of my heros. She’s had a really hard time and yet, you would never know it! She’s the kindest most spiritually minded person I know.
My late gramother!
Shw still lives in me..to this day!!
