We all know that I have been against Pink October, but it is never going away. So rather than just sweeping it all under the rug, this month I will highlight companies that actually want to do good for cancer patients. Nothing is ever all bad, and as long as you know what to look for, you can navigate this month. Remember, give to charities to provide patient support or research. Not awareness!
Erin Condren makes beautiful planners. Somebody on her team was diagnosed with breast cancer, and heard about the charity, the Pink Lotus Foundation. They do a lot of good for people, so Erin Condren decided that 50% of the sales of the Pink Lotus design should go to that charity.

Hi Ann. I know I've won before but it's so much fun to enter I hope you don't mind me doing so again! Happy pink October to you. I'm doing my best to make my friends aware of the difference between awareness and research so hopefully getting through. We don't seem to have the organisations the USA has re mets etc. I wish I had the energy to start something myself but at least I'm taking small steps. Have fun. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's all random so who knows, you could win again! Good luck.
DeleteThanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
DeleteFall has so much to offer besides being pink. I really appreciate all your effort at getting money to be spent on the real stuff that matters to us metsters, and that is RESEARCH!
ReplyDeleteWe metsters need all the help we can get, don't we?
DeleteBut yep, fall is many great things: leaves and booties and cooler nights and Halloween! :).
Just letting you know that I posted an "anti-Komen" article on my blog. Not many liked it or commented, but that's ok.. They heard me. And this is all thanks to you for opening my eyes, when I found your blog, after my mom was diagnosed.

Ann! PLEASE vlog- I think that would be awesome and no, you're never too old to vlog! I love that this is used for research and helping on that side of things- I think it's great that you support that part of it. I would love the planner! starla.batesATyahoo.com
ReplyDeleteyou bring so much sunshine to others and I have definitely learned so much from you over the past 10 years I have known you. What a great giveaway and option to bring more awareness to Pink OCtober.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the give away, and for all you do to raise awareness of the pinktober issue!
ReplyDeleteYup. Very "aware" of cancer. Glad to see the focus shifting to more productive efforts!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your efforts to bring truth and hope! I would love to win this planner, but really it just gives me another opportunity to applaud all that you do! We need to turn this pink thing into a color of hope instead of awareness. I mean, who doesn't know about breast cancer at this point. More money toward effective treatments and cure!
