Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Love[link]
I am not doing this for money or recognition, or anything. I just wanted to do SOMETHING for October. After my plans to put out a new version of an old horror poetry collection were deep-sixed, I started to think of something ELSE I could do for October. As the month neared, I figured it out: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And since I run the occasional blog series on my blogs, I thought, why not run a blog series in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month? The result is a daily post on that blog spotlighting charities, events, stories from survivors and information about breast cancer.
I am open to receiving stories from breast cancer survivors as well as anyone who had a close call in being diagnosed with breast cancer and what that experience taught them. Please feel free to contact me about being included in this series if this applies to you and also definitely feel free to spread the word about this. You may copy and paste this journal verbatim on your own journals, MySpace bulltens, Web sites, etc. It's an opportunity that is open to everyone everywhere to share.
One thing I was disappointed to see in my experience of this so far is that I could not find a book of stories from breast cancer survivors. I think there should be one. The stories I have read so far are truly inspiring. I am hoping those who have shared their stories on the 'Net and their Web sites will take the time to share it for this blog series.
And if anyone is curious, no, I am not a breast cancer survivor myself. I did have a close call with being diagnosed with cancer, but not breast cancer. One of my cousins is a breast cancer survivor and ever since I learned of her diagnosis, this kind of thing has always been in the back of my mind. It's so important that awareness of breast cancer is spread to as many people as possible.
Anyway, if you have something to share for this blog series, please don't hesitate to let me know.
And as to the poetry book, all I can say is....same time next year.
