It is a very good learning site for all those that r uneducated on breast cancer...it is a very nice site to stop in and read because your sure to learn something! Thanks and iwould like to be in the drawing for the giveaway:))My blog url is http://joannanherblogs.blogspot.com
I presently am going through treatment for breast cancer so this site is great to go to and see others that are going through the same thing as I am. Thanks for the contest!
Everyone is so supportive of each other...giving each other flowers, words of hope and to stay strong. It's so inspiring and wonderful, to know people are working to help each other.

I like the Survivor Ambassador Blog. It's nice keeping track of other survivors stories. My Mom and Aunt are both Breast Cancer Survivors. Mom caught hers at Stage 1 so she was very lucky. My Aunt had Stage 4 and had a pretty grim prognosis, but she's cancer free now for 2 years so we're very thankful for that.

What I found most inspiring was from reading the back and forth messages- the strength and hope everyone draws from one another and offers each other is awesome. But then, I think the whole Pink movement is a lot bigger than most people realize- people who have never personally dealt with breast cancer in themselves or a friend or family member will a lot of times pick up a product marked with Pink over one that isn't.

I find it inspiring because these women share their stories of trials and tribulations with the whole world. I hope and pray that I never need their support but, if I ever do, I know where to go.

I just love the one person's story is another person's hope tagline--it's true, there is so much hope in knowing what someone else went through, and what to expect-knowledge is power.

I love the whole 'together' concept - people can feel empowered instead of alone :)
I love communities like this- it really shows that there are other people out there going through the same thing. Truly an inspiration.
Pinktogether is truly an inspirational website. I read some stories of people living in my area... they are fighting so hard.

The most inspiring thing to me is having the ability through Pink Together to meet other people that share your story. And with which you have something in common with that understand.
As a survivor it is hard to talk to others that have not had my experience.

Great prize to show support to survivors!
I think its great that survivors can meet ladies who are battling, how hopeful is that? amazing site.
I love that everyone is so supportive of each other.
erma.hurtt@sbcglobal.net
it's so awesome that so many from all walks of life can come together to support a fantastic cause that not only can effect woman but also men. Men can also get breast cancer.
These disease effects not just the patient but the whole family and more research needs to be done to find a cure

As sick as these ladies may be or have been, they don't give up and there are no sob stories. It makes you rethink the small stuff and how you react to things.
Love them all.
