PinkTogether.com: Inspring Hope Giveaway

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One site spreading awareness and helping those affected by breast cancer, both emotionally and monetarily, is PinkTogether.com.

On PinkTogether.com, everyone can share hope by posting and reading inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors and supporters within the community.

From the organizers:

"The site is part of Pink Together®, a national campaign to support those impacted by breast cancer and to help raise awareness of the disease. To support Pink Together, General Mills is donating $2 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and is turning the packaging pink next month on an assortment of its most beloved brands. General Mills will also donate $1, up to $20,000, each time you post a comment of encouragement, send a virtual flower bouquet or share a story on PinkTogether.com in October."

I sat for a long time reading the stories. I sent several bouquets and sent messages of hope. I felt good knowing I was building people up and helping in more than one way. It's easy to do and don't forget $1 will be donated each time you do this.

Win: Update: We have our winner. Congratulations to #30 Danielle who said, "email subscriber".
