Be Bright Pink

My husband sent me this link today ... Be Bright Pink

"Bright Pink is a unique resource providing support to young women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer. We arm young women with knowledge, options and a great attitude, and offer companionship and empathy during their journey. We empower them to take control of their breast and ovarian health and in turn, grant them the freedom and peace of mind to live a beautiful and fulfilling life."

Check out the Lindsay's story - the founder of Bright Pink

Team Paint the Town Pink Update - We have reached $400.00 in donations effective 9-26-07, which means we are 80% of the way to our $500.00 goal. I got a generous offer from one of our team members (who shall remain nameless, unless permission to use their name is granted) to cover the remaining 20% in order to reach our goal. I am hoping that we can get more team members donating rather than having to rely on a team member who has already given to date.

Keep it up and please spread the word!
