Pink for October

1 October 2007 by kristarella

As you can see this site is going Pink for October.

October is Breast Cancer (BC) awareness month, pretty soon I’m going to have some links up to places that you can donate to BC research, buy pink stuff that supports BC research and support, and read more about BC.

BC affects a lot of lives. My mother survived BC about seven years ago, so I feel I owe a lot to the research that has improved detection and treatment of this disease. There are other families and mothers and young women that haven’t been as blessed as mine. This month I hope to learn more about BC and share it with you and my mum is going to write a post for us too. 🙂

Have an educational October!

    Thanks for the vote!
    Thanks for pointing that out too – I removed that code from my red theme, but obviously forgot for this version! Should be fine now 🙂

    Great theme for Pink for October!
    I really like it.
    To bad your nano got stolen, but that’s also a good reason to buy that shiny new nano video 🙂

    Don’t forget it’s only 10 days to Blog action day 😉

    Thanks!
    Yeah, bummer… am definitely hoping for one of those but it might be a few more weeks/months yet :jealous:
    Yep! Apparently they’re sending a reminder email, hopefully I’ll have my post written ready to go though. 😛

    I love what you did to the theme! :up:

    I am so glad to see another blogger participating in the Breast Cancer Awareness month! 🙂

    Besides going pink, I will also try to create and spread the awareness on breast cancer throughout the month, beginning with a post with a little introduction in breast cancer:

    I’m also trying to provide some info, with Mum’s story and some posts with links to further information and awareness initiatives.

    I’m coming over to read your post!
