October is Breast Cancer Awareness month - which I have renamed Cancer Awareness month. Many people have gone "pink" with their avatars to raise awareness and remind followers of the importance of the fight.

My daughter, AChrome, got some of the gals in the family to join in and walk for the American Cancer Society 5-mile walk in Philadelphia this past weekend. She and her friend even made us all t-shirts to wear for the team, "Save the Ta-Tas". The walk was filled with different emotions - my thoughts heavy for two friends who lost their fathers last year, a friend who is a survivor, a friend fighting the fight - and also for so many that I don't personally know with stories.
