Pink Together Celebrating Breast Cancer Month Giveaway : (Ends 10/31)

in Giveaways on

It is not often that I find someone that has not been touched in their lives in some form by cancer. I would say a lot of those times the culprit is breast cancer. October is breast cancer month and I’m happy to support it with this giveaway on behalf of General Mills. I myself have my own “touched by cancer” story. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was in middle school. I truthfully did not understand the severity of her condition at that age. She fought it and was in remission. One day she picked up her grand daughter and threw out her back. She never thought much of it just figured she lifted her wrong. After months of it not going away she went to the doctor and found that the cancer was back and had spread throughout her body. When I was in 10th grade my grandmother lost the battle with breast cancer.

Find hope. Be inspired. Know you are not alone. Join the 2011 Pink TogetherTM campaign – now in its fifth year of celebrating hope – by visiting PinkTogether.com to connect with a unique online community of people who have been touched by breast cancer and share a passion for the cause. Individually we are strong, but together we are stronger.

  • Visit PinkTogether.com to share your personal story and messages of hope and read about others´ personal journeys. To encourage personal connections, General Mills will donate $1 to the Komen organization for each Message of Hope that is sent to someone who has shared their story on PinkTogether.com (up to $25,000) during October. This is in addition to a $2 million donation General Mills is making to the Komen organization.
  • This year, for the first time in its five-year history, at PinkTogether.com consumers can choose how $1 million of this donation will be shared between two important Komen programs: the Treatment and Assistance Program, which assists women in securing care they otherwise may not be able to afford, and Prevention Research, which helps unlock the keys to preventing breast cancer. Visit PinkTogether.com from September 19, 2011 through April 14, 2012 to make your choice. Results will be announced on Mother´s Day 2012 – Sunday, May 13.
  • Meet the 2011 Pink Together Survivor Ambassadors, and hear their amazing stories of courage and survival on PinkTogether.com and the Pink Together YouTube Channel.

  2. I find it most inspiring that it allows people who have dealt with similar things to band together. Going through anything related to cancer is hard, but it’s helps make people stronger knowing that they are not alone.

  3. I like how everyone is affected & can relate to how people are feeling. Either they are saddened by a loss, battling cancer treatments or rejoicing in a successful journey – there is always someone to connect with.

  9. I think that anytime people dealing with the same problem or illness and talk and get advice and support it actually helps the healing process, just not feeling like you are in it alone, this is a great program and a great cause , very impressive

  11. I just like you lost my grandma to breast cancer when I was in 10th grade…..I find it most inspiring that organizations and companies like this try to do so much publicly so the victims fighting this disease know there are people out there trying to help them and that they really do care!

  36. As a survivor myself, I like hearing other survivor stories about beating the odds. I really don’t want my kids to lose me to this horrible disease

  38. I love seeing things like this. My mother is a breast cancer survivor- she’s been in remission for roughly ten years. I am so grateful for all of the companies and people who have donated to help fight breast cancer- it helped saved my mother’s life, and chances are it will also save the lives of other women I know. After all, by some estimates, roughly 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer. How many women do you know?

  39. I find the survivor stories to be the most inspiring. Being a breast cancer survivor I know just what each person went through to get where they are today.

  40. I find the personal stories at Pink Together the most inspiring because they put a very human, and individual, twist on a faceless disease.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  47. It is so neat to see so many companies participating in breast cancer awareness and research. I always try to buy the products that support the cure. I’m definitely going to visit pink together and help choose where the donation money will be used. Great post.

  52. What I find most inspiring is the awareness this creates about breast cancer. Women (myself included) can easily forget the importance of self-exams. I also love the healthy aspect I’m sure will be incorporated into the recipes! Would love to win this. 🙂
