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.

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.
I donated moneys to the cause and I did the walk in Phili
my mom and late grandmother inspire me most for their strong, resilient spirit and the way they made the most of what they had despite difficult times in the past.

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.

What I really like about pink together is that it brings people together to share their stories – you don’t feel so alone
I shared a story there.

To fight breast cancer, I get an annual mammogram & encourage others to do so as well. I help raise money in charities & donate when I can.

My mom as she kept 2 businesses running after my dad died.
The woman inspires me the most is my Mom~As my Dad passed away 2 years ago and right after he passed she got Cancer and has been fighting that since.No matter what happens she seems to always have a smile on her face
Of course my mother inspires me daily, especially now as I am expecting my first child. Her boundless love and support I can only hope to emulate with my children.
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!
My aunt Anne inspires me the most – she had breast cancer about 40 yrs. ago, and now it’s returned.
I donate to three of my friends who collect money for the NYC Breast Cancer Walk…they’re ALL survivors of Breast Cancer.

My Aunt is a breast cancer survivor and she inspires me because after all she has been through she keeps a positive attitude.
My Aunt inspires me the most because she overcame breast cancer and now she motivates others who are in the same position. She is amazing. Thanks for the chance.

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!”
I do weekly breast exams on my self and I just completed a 4 mile walk last sunday for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in Columbus OH

The woman that inspires me the most is my grandmother. She raised 7 kids under primitive conditions, war, and hardship.
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.
I work on as an Oncology Nurse and help women with breast cancer every day fight this terrible disease.

My Mom, because she always has a positive attitude.
I just had my annual mamogram, just last week.
My sister inspires me alot. She is a single mom and works so hard to provide for her little boy.
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 try to make sure to check myself for lumps…early detection is the key!
