You know, I'm no pink poster child but it give me warmth to see all the pink out there. Just knowing that even a little bit goes to research or providing a mammogram to someone who otherwise wouldn't be able to get one is warming to my soul. It gives me hope that someday others will not have to go through what I went through...don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to cancer. It changed me and made me a better person in more ways than one but on the flip side, I also lost two friends to the beast over the past year. So I say pink, pink, pink, bring it on and the more the better as every little bit counts! Every penny brings us closer to making things better for the future. So maybe I am a pink poster child after all?
