Pink Together

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, PinkTogether.com 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.

Inspiring Hope gift basket

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.

    The woman that inspires me most, in all honesty, is my mother. She has done so much for me and my sister and being a single mother never got her down. She was awesome. I hope I can be as good a mom as she is to us. :)

    The video was awesome. It is nice to hear that pinktogether is established to help people with breast cancer. I have also participated in some awareness program to make people understand the effects of breast cancer. I will follow pinktogether in myspace.
    Hope you good work continues.

    My mom inspires me the most. She is a strong woman. She is 83, retired a few years ago from running a concrete business for over 60 years, raised 6 kids & a couple of grandkids, survived colon cancer & is still going strong. I wish I had her energy. :)

  21. Karly on Tue, 27th Oct 2009 1:04 am 

    My mom inspires me the most. She was a career woman before having kids. Then, when she became a mom, she was the most loving and devoted person you can imagine from home life to school to scouts to sports. She’s incredible!

  22. Jean F on Tue, 27th Oct 2009 6:56 am 

    My aunt Anne inspires me the most – she had breast cancer about 40 yrs. ago, and now it’s returned.

  27. Tammy @ LoveMy2Dogs on Tue, 27th Oct 2009 7:15 pm 

    The woman that inspires me the most is my Aunt Judy. She is always doing doing doing for others. She never stops but she does it because she wants to not because she has to. She lets the things go that don’t need to be done and do whats needs done and always puts family first. She is not my mother but she has always been there for me, no matter what time of day or night or the reason and has never said “I told you so!”

  28. Tammy @ LoveMy2Dogs on Tue, 27th Oct 2009 7:19 pm

    The thing about the Pink Together Community that impressed me the most were the Ambassadors that shared their stories. Many managed to survive and thrive despite huge obstacles.

  46. Kristy on Wed, 28th Oct 2009 2:37 am 

    On the Pink Together community, the forums are so inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. It is unfortunate that so many women have had to face this awful disease.

    I’m most inspired by my aunt who is currently undergoing radiation treatment for breast cancer.

  52. CMC on Wed, 28th Oct 2009 3:54 pm 

    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.
