Last week I told you all about a program called Pink Together. Pink Together is a community of women who share their stories of surviving and fighting breast cancer. They also support, and give hope to those still fighting breast cancer.
I was informed by MyBlogSpark, that General Mills will be donating $2 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® , they will also be turning the packaging pink for the month of October on an assortment of their beloved brands. Are you ready for some more? For the month of October General Mills will also be donating $1, up to $20,000, each time someone posts a comment of encouragement, sends a virtual flower, or shares a story on Pink Together. (All of this information was obtained from an email I received from MyBlogSpark)continue…

About Jammie Morey
Although I've had breast cancer 3 times and lost my sister to it when she was 46 I have a friend named Laura. She has had far more tragedy in her life than I. She is always smiling and upbeat. She is the most profoundly spiritual person I've ever known. She lost her sister to cancer at the same age as my siter 3 months before we met. We became fast friends. I feel like she was an angel sent to me on this difficult journey.
My best friend Carol has inspired me with her grace and strength.
My friend Laura, who has a lot of cancer in her immediate family, and is always upbeat
Of course my mom and grandmother inspire me. My mom is a wonderful cook and she uses her ability to spread warmth, love, and cheer. My grandmother had 7 kids whom she raised in primitive conditions through war, famine, disease, you name it.
Not sure how to leave the link. If someone could explain to me that would be good. Technically still in the 20th century. Sent a flower to Lindsey, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 23! I was can't imagine what she went through at such a young age, but I was truly inspired.
Second post for leaving a flower to Lindsay. Need someone to explain to me how to leave a link. Thanks.

I love the fact that you can send people flowers on the Pink Together website to show your support. I also think the Pink Together website raises awareness in young women that they can get breast cancer too. I think you typically associate breast cancer with older women.

My aunt is a breast cancer survivor and even though she has been through so much in her life she keeps a positive attitude. That is why she is an inspiration to me.
Another thing I find impressive about the Pink Together website is the actual concept. What a great idea. Someone out there took the time to put this website together. How many of us come up with good ideas, but never execute them. It's convenient, easy to use, and allows other people to show support by sending e-flowers.

my friend kristina from work who just finished the 3 day walk, she rasied a lot of money!!!
My Grandma inspired me with her perserverence. Thanks for the chance.

i really would love this. My mother in law inspires me most she has been through a lot including cancer. And I don't want to cry so i'll leave it at that.
I sent a flower to Irene on the Pink Together website. She must be such a strong, positively oriented person to have gotten through so much. Diagnosed at 34! – comment 1.

Trying to make sure I send and e-flower to a cancer survivor on the Pink Together website. Check it out it's really a worthwhile site. Sent a flower to Molly of Houston who was diagnosed at age 33. She went through 4 rounds of chemo and radiation, but unfortunately relapsed. After a double mastectomy she remains cancer free 4 yrs later. Her biggest message is you can still remain in control of you life even with breast cancer. Sent flower under the Aline.

I don't believe many people can say this, but my boss inspires me the most. She is confident enough to trust her staff and give us the autonomy we need to thrive. Thanks for the chance to win such a fun prize pack. (krstrpp at hotmail dot com)
Sent a flower to Jennifer from Boston who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer at age 28. Jennifer went through 16 rounds of chemo and had a double mastectomy. Cancer has affected her grandmother, mother and aunt.

Sent the flower from Aileen Robison. Not sure how show you that it was done, but it was done.
Sent flower and comment to Mercedes of Portland, ME. She has survived cancer 32 years! I'm an Oncology nurse and see too many sad cases. I'm so glad to read about folks who have made it. It gives me hope that some of the work we do isn't in vain.

My mom inspires me the most. She is 83 & just retired a few years ago from running a concrete business. She raised 6 kids & a few grandkids. She survived colon cancer & is still going strong. I wish I had her energy.

My friend Susan inspires me. She has had breast cancer for over 5 years now and has done everything and yet keeps a positive attitude. It has helped her.
If you pull up Ambassadors by state scroll down a bit and you will find a list of women that need your support the most since they are currently undergoing treatment. I sent a flower and message of encouragement to Stacey of Salem, NJ who is currently undergoing 35 (yes 35!) rounds of radiation.

For me what is most inspiring about pinktogether is there are no sob stories, none of them are asking for sympathy. That just amazes me. I could only hope I could be that strong.

My mom inspires me the most. She is an amazing woman!
