I hope everyone had a nice weekend! Mine was great, however I still need another one just to recuperate and rest. On Sunday, my friends and I (the ladies of Suite October) walked for a cause in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. With only about three hours of rest (due to a late night/early morning birthday celebration), it was hard but we did it.We met quite a few interesting women. Most profound was a young lady who was just recently diagnosed last Wednesday (through a self exam she performed in the shower) and is due to have surgery this Tuesday. I admire her spirit and strength to have been able to come out and share her experience with strangers during such a trying time. Her age: 35
If you're currently thinking you're too young for breast cancer, please reconsider those thoughts.
As women, we are ALL at risk. Let's just be sure to take the necessary precautions to avoid becoming a victim.

Such a good post babe. Cancer is no joke. I know a 23 year old grl who just got diagnosed. Sad
great post...walk it out girl!
Walking for a cause. I love it!! And you're so right. A friend of mine was diagnosed with BC at 19. So yes...we ALL need to be aware. ;)
I'm sure you had fun and were surrounded by people that remind us of our responsibility to ourselves. I volunteered at the Komen Race for the Cure recently here and had a ball!
