Response to this contest has been so fantastic. Each time one of my readers says they were inspired to schedule their mammogram as a result of this contest I feel like I’m doing what I’m meant to be doing here (so thank you for that). It’s empowering, I think, and awesome to take in how […]

I remember the first time someone put one of these rubber pink awareness bracelets on my wrist. I was at a friend’s for a New Year’s Eve party.

Pink Ribbon Search is a search engine that ‘combines the power of Google and Yahoo’ — 100% of the revenue generated from advertisers on the site is given to non-profit partners to fund clinics and mobile mammography […]

Is laughter the best medicine? Maybe not the best medicine … but it sure is damn good stuff. My family made me laugh so hard during my treatments that I swore I was going to bust a stitch or two. Literally!
Clearly, the world knows that humor makes a difference in survivors lives. Just look at […]
