I think the most inspiring thing is the awareness this gives to woman, that they are not alone, they can survive and that it’s vital to do your SBE (self breast exam)
Most inspiring thing is that women are joining together in huge numbers to fight for an amazing cause! Also, men and women alike know what a pink ribbon stands for! That is some good marketing!! :)
Hope is the most inspiring thing about Pink Together community.
Thank you for having a sweeps!

My Aunt in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer and kidney cancer 3 and a half years ago and is in full remission now. She had to have a double masectomy and a kidney transplant. Before she began her treatments I was very naive to breast cancer and what all a person has to go thru. Watching her go thru all this and helping her to find support groups really opened my eyes to the way that everyone pulls together to help one another thru this tough time. I think the pink for a cure and the Susan B Komen project are both awesome organizations to raise awarness to this disease and to provide support to all that are struggling with this and those of us that aren’t.
It is great how everyone joins together to help raise awareness and money for Breast Cancer.
I think making women aware is the most positive thing the website does.
The sense of community, that you aren’t alone.

What I find most inpiring about the pink together is that it gets people involved that normally wouldn’t have any part with the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.
Today, it is hard to go into a store and not notice all of the Pink items. Since General Mills is such a part of our everyday food consumption, this campaign has taken Breast Cancer and the Susan G Komen foundation to a new level of awareness.
As a daughter and granddaughter of breast Cancer survivors, I realize and know the importance of early detection. Breast Cancer, however, is now a disease of young or old, black or white, male or female. There are no guidelines and everyone should know how to detect and seek treatment for this beast of a disease.

The promise of hope is a huge part of this movement, given through the support of those who have been down the path before us.

The stories of survivors are always amazing – the *survivors* are amazing. I think it’s incredible how so many can come together and make such an impact and a statement. Whether you participate in a walk, sponsor someone who is, donate time or money – however “small” your contribution is – it makes a difference.
