October 1st --the 31st is
breast cancer awareness month. Here's what J&D Legends thinks of pink.
Powerful
Independent
Not giving up
Kind
For the month of October we are supporting breast cancer awareness by wearing pink for the entire month. Wearing bracelets if we know
someone who has breast cancer and by doing this
we are hoping that we can help make a difference so that
research can find
a cure for breast cancer.
Here are some
stories of cancer survivor’s words of inspiration
Six months after I finished cancer treatment, I accomplished 2 physical
feats that I never imagined I would do. I hiked down and back up the Grand
Canyon in 1 day, and a week later, I completed my first half marathon. Going
through a year of chemotherapy with a smile gave me the strength to know I
could get through anything with grace. I am currently working toward my
master’s degree in public health so that I can work with others in compromised health
situations.

Life’s
much more vibrant. Words have more meaning. Actions have more meaning.
Butterflies, coffee, and bright blue skies seem so much more important than
petty disagreements. Relationships are more important than how many hours a
week I have worked. And every day is truly a gift.
