Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!
As October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to introduce you to an online community on MySpace where those touched by breast cancer can connect and provide support, comfort, and encouragement to one another. On PinkTogether.com everyone can share hope by posting and reading inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors and supporters within the community.
The site is part of Pink Together®, a national campaign to support those impacted by breast cancer and to help raise awareness of the disease. To support Pink Together, General Mills is donating $2 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and is turning the packaging pink on an assortment of its most beloved brands. General Mills will also donate $1, up to $20,000, each time you post a comment of encouragement, send a virtual flower bouquet or share a story on PinkTogether.com in October.
So please visit PinkTogether.com and read some of the inspiring stories. You can also watch these videos from the 2009 Pink Together Survivor Ambassadors talking about their journeys with breast cancer.
To help spread the word about PinkTogether.com, My Blog Spark sent me a Inspiring Hope gift pack that includes a sleeved travel mug, a running ribbon charm bracelet, a pink leather strap keychain, a pink cinch bag, and a set of inspirational note cards. All of the gift pack items are from ShopKomen.com, where 25 percent of the merchandise purchase price benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in the fight against breast cancer. They’ve also given me the opportunity to giveaway an Inspiring Hope gift pack to one of my lucky readers!

I found the story written by “Shelly” the most inspirational. I could relate to her ’cause she is around my age.

Alison on 24 October, 2009 at 8:29 am Crystal Hope’s story was very inspiring.
I read about a woman named Cindi who was diagnosed the day her dad passed away, and how her own mom was a cancer survivor as well. She has been through a difficult time, and her story was very inspiring.
I sent Cindi a flower

Well bummer. I can’t get onto MySpace from work, but that sounds very cool. I had not heard about this before in all of my breast cancer awareness circles.
I’m following you and everything and would love this for my walk and fundraising activities. It would make a great raffle item. I will make a note to check out their site this weekend when I have more time.
