October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Everywhere you go you see various companies doing their part by producing their product in the "think pink" color. Over the Christmas holiday I was made aware of an important person in my life that was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo a double mastectomy. My mom's boss, also a long time friend, was also diagnosed and is undergoing the same procedure. Well ladies, it is not, October, but I urge you to "Think Pink". Say a prayer for those you know and those you don't living with this disease. Buy something with a pink ribbon on it to do your part. Get a mammogram to protect yourself. Whatever it is---Save the Ta Tas!!!

Thanks for the comment you left on my blog! I'm glad you said hi and that I have been able to look at your blog today. I always love finding blogs of other runners. Feel free to say hi at any time or if you ever have questions about how I train or anything, ask away. I'm healing from my fracture and will be running again in a few weeks. I can't wait!
Hi to all of Marissa and Brett's bloggers!
Marissa, I applaud your "Think Pink" attitude - how about taking it even a proactive step further. In October, officially Breast Cancer awareness month, I registered to be part of the Army of Women research project. My friend Oprah and Dr. Susan Love told me all about it ~ a nationwide call for women of all ages, sizes, colors, health status ~ no breasts,two breasts, one breast ~ mothers, daughters, sisters ~ you get the idea. Go to armyofwomen.org for information - it was easy to register - just some basic health info and demographic info. You will be invited to participate in appropriate studies ~ you may always accept the invitation or decline ~ some studies are simply surveys, some more involved, but it's your option. Think about this as a way to help find a cure or affect the path for our sisters, moms, daughters and dear friends!
With love,
Aunt Zoe
