Good Morning, Quilters!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Statistics show that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime…that means that 1250 of The Inbox Jaunt’s 10,000 followers will face breast cancer!
The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect breast cancer in its early stages.

Pretty in Pink! You may think Pink is a girl thing — but to all you men quilter’s out there – it could happen to you also. One day with everyone’s support and prayers there will be a better cure.

Thanks for the reminder about men also having this terrible disease.

I did not have breast cancer but appendix cancer. My life was spared. Let’s try and spare more lives with cancer

We hold a fund raiser every year at our place for the American Cancer Society. My husband has had 4 sisters with breast cancer and has lost 2 brothers to cancer. It is close to our hearts. We love “Pretty in Pink”
Tessa
Early detection is so very important! Please, everyone, have a mammogram now if you’ve not yet this year! Often, many hospitals offer free/reduced fee mammos during the month of October-check with your local hospitals if you don’t have insurance coverage for a mammogram. 😉

I am fortunate to have several friends who are breast cancer survivors. They help me to value each day as a gift! Each is very special and is “Pretty in Pink!”

I’ve used Sulky for many years. Their quality is great. Thank you for the chance to receive these pinks.

My grandmother, aunt and mother in law battled breast cancer. My mother in law didn’t win her battle. It is a horrible, life threatening disease that I so wish could be cured. I click on the Breastcancersite.com everyday to help fund mammograms to underprivileged women. It would be fantastic if even half your followers would do the same! Thank you for running the give away but most importantly for adding info about breast cancer to your site! And we are ALL Pretty in Pink.

survivor – love pink!

In my circle of 11 close friends, 2 of the “girls” have been stricken & beaten breast cancer. It’s scarey to think that we’re higher than the average rate of 1 in 8 but encouraging & empowering to know that breast cancer can be beaten! Both of them caught it early.
Pretty in Pink!

Thank you Lori for all the links. This will undoubtedly lead to the detection of someone’s cancer. Maybe not a reader but a family member, maybe not this year but next year. You will have helped someone.
The ribbon is quite lovely. Again thank you.
