Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Boston 2018

Welcome to Boobtober! A month where we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness and watch everything get slapped with a pink ribbon. I am happy to say that those in my circle are becoming more educated about products and make certain that donations from products actively go to organizations that actually do things to advance breast cancer research or take care of patients. Things like the Breast Cancer Research Fund (BCRF, there great hashtag for the month is #ResearchistheReason), Dr. Susan Love Foundation, and American Cancer Society. Because of all the good the American Cancer Society does for people actively undergoing cancer treatment and ways for people to cope with diagnosis.

One of my favorite activities of Boobtober is doing the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk my primary caregiver, my Mom. I enjoy doing the walk because this is where they give you a survivor sash and its great to be surrounded by other breast cancer survivor sisters (and brothers) and their support squads. Plus, its fun to watch my mom get such joy from the continued surprised looks people give the two of us walking when they see my sash! This year many people stopped to say congratulations or give a thumbs up, or communicate in some way that they were excited for you.

I went with the bandanna this year instead of a cape and you cans see part of my survivor sash sticking out. The weather was gorgeous and it's rewarding to see so many people out supporting the cause.
