October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of this special month, you can visit PinkTogether.com where everyone can share hope by posting and reading inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors and supporters within the community. Pink Together is a national campaign to support women afflicted with breast cancer and to 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 next month 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.
The stories posted on PinkTogether.com are just inspiring. The women who posted are so courageous and brave. I love when I have opportunities to blog about awesome and important campaigns such as Pink Together. Please go to the site and post comments, share a story or send a virtual flower bouquet. When you do so, General Mills makes a donation. It's that easy. And that important.
The folks over at My Blog Spark have graciously decided to give one (1) of my lucky readers an Inspiring Hope gift basket (as pictured above) 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 basket 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
