On October 22nd, my self, my mom and my sister will be among the hundreds of people participating in the Sarasota/Bradenton Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. This walk is a non-competitive 5K fundraising walk. I am walking for several reasons and the first and foremost is my mom.
(I stole this picture off mom's Facebook page...I hope she doesn't kill me!)
Today is actually the 5th anniversary of my mom being cancer free! Yes, my mom is a breast cancer survivor and she now volunteers her time for the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery and Look Good…Feel Better programs. I am proud of my mom, how she walked through her cancer with a positive attitude and how she now gives back to others who are suffering with all types of cancers.
Part of the fun of the walk is that we are encouraged to wear a decorated pink bra on the outside of your clothing during the walk. Yesterday, we got crafty and decorated our bras for the walk.

All 3 finished projects
You’ll have to wait for my post on the actual walk to see us wearing our creations 
In all seriousness though, this is a fundraising walk and I am really counting on you, my readers, to help support me in my effort. From now until the walk, the Making Strides badge will be at the top of my page for you to click on to donate. You can also click here. No donation is too small. I have set a modest goal-since we are starting kind of late, I’d like to raise at least $250.00. Together we CAN do this! Thank you for your help and support.
Please leave a comment and let me know you donated!
Awesome! What a great cause. Love the craft.
What a creative way to raise money. My grandmother is a breast cancer survivor and I’ve volunteered with the ACS before. I applaud your efforts. Oh, and I love the bras.

Bra-vo to you, Cindy! I am doing the Race for the Cure in October, but I will definitely make a donation to “support you” and your mom. Your bras are too cute, by the way! Can’t wait to see the pictures of the event.
Love the bras! So creative!
Love the bras! Looking forward to hearing how it goes. Best of luck on reaching your goal.

Hopefully, these activities can continue in the future as a form of campaign for the prevention of breast cancer.

Congrats! It is an anniversary worth celebrating. Love the bras and what you are doing. I hope she doesn’t kill you for sharing the picture! I’d probably freak out more about the bras being shown
