what a beautiful set. i have/know too many people with cancers and my co-worker just had her first chemo 2wks ago. she's had both breasts removed. we're praying she beats this monster. we all should be aware and take as many precautionary steps as possible to beat this.

[Pam Spradlin]

I have had several family members and friends be diagnosed with breast cancer so it something that the entire family is aware of. Many of us do the yearly walk our town has at the city park to raise money and awareness of the disease. It just seems to be hitting younger people now more than ever.

[Sarah]

Love this set! I know several "survivors",including my mother.Hopefully someday this disease will be a thing of the past.

[S.Grisham]

My grandmother is a breast cancer survivor. The more awareness and knowledge that we have the better can be. You can never be prepared for this disease.

[Tanya Petersheim]

One of my best friends mother died from breast cancer - it was a long hard fight!

[Jean A Marmo]

I am a breast cancer survivor - not once but twice!! Both times mine was detected on a mammogram!! I encourage everyone I know to get this test. IT is so worth it and early detection is key!

[stacey]

My grandmother and My Aunt both have had breast cancer and masectomy's but thank the good Lord, both have survived it! it means alot to have my family still around! thanks so much for the chance!

[Anne Ayers]

My grandma survived breast cancer and I lost 2 friends over it....its dear to my heart!!!

[Carol Vivenzio]

I have been in remission for Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer for 13 1/2 years. I was told that I am at a higher risk for developing breast cancer. I don't want to be afraid any longer, always worrying that cancer can return. I am a survivor who will fight! Not only for myself, but for anyone who life is forever changed because of this evil cancer. It is nice you are recognizing this for women and their loved ones everywhere. Thank you. And thank you for a chance to win a prize.

[maryann]

our daughter's best friends mother is currently fighting breast cancer- It's been a long fight for her. i want my daughter to grow up with the awareness that all women no matter how old or young can face this challenge. But i also want her to know that this can be a challanged that can be survived.

[Jeni C]

Beautiful set... cancer, including breast cancer, has affected many relatives and friends.

[Anna K.]

A life-long friend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She has a son that is 10 years old and is fighting hard to beat it for him. She is my hero and I will do all I can to raise awareness for the disease.

[Velda C. Howard]

Beautiful set of pink. I have a cousin that had breast cancer and has so far beaten it. I pray that one day there is a cure for the dreadful disease of cancer of any kind. that for the chance to win.

[Tammy Valley]

This is a horrible disease that has affected many around me. I would love it if no one had to hear those words, "you have cancer". All those fighting, keep up the good fight and stay positive!

[Donna Davis]

I have always been aware of breast cancer but until I went through the treatment to fight my breast cancer I was rather blaise about it. Please do everything you can to fight cancer; eat really healthy and get all the possible checks up available to catch it early. Advanced stage III is no fun to fight. Love the pink stationary giveaway. Good luck to all.

[StefanieC]

I lost my mom when I was 19 because of breast cancer - research is near and dear to my heart.

love that pink stationary!!

[Kelly Massman]

It means so much to me because so many women are affected!!! Thanks for the chance to win and for the reminder! I'm late in getting my mammogram scheduled this year but we all need to remember to do it!! Breast Cancer Awareness month is such an important reminder!!!

[Carol N]

I am a woman, need I say more. I am lucky that I don't know anyone personally who has had breast cancer, but certainly don't want to be the first of my loved ones. We all need to be aware.

Thanks for the reminder and the chance to win the stationary!

[Karen Mc]

Love the set. My Nana past away this summer after a long fight with breast cancer. My Great Grandma past as well with breast cancer and my sister died just before she was 7 with kidney cancer.

[Penny DuBry]

I so love this set...Every time I see pink it stops be in my tracks and makes me think of all those out there fighting, who have fought and one and those who lost the fight. There are to many for me to list but the one that means the most to me is my Mother!!! She is a 2 time winner with the battle and is still going strong. She has not had the easiest life and has had many medical issues and still does. I have always wanted to make something special for her and this opportunity to win something this special would be so wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to share my story and the chance to win.

[Donna L]

Breast cancer awareness is important to me because I know several women and their families who were impacted by this disease. Unfortunately, I lost a cousin and a co-worker to breast cancer. Early diagnosis is crucial in the fight against this destructive disease.

[Sheila Ferreri]

I love your designs. Thanks for supporting to find a cure. My mom had a scare with breast cancer and I feel lucky that with early detection, and treatment, she was able to fight it.

[Robert Mosher]

My mother is a breast cancer survivor and I thank God everyday!

[amy criss]

what a wonderful prize, and its for a great cause.

[TracyM #6773]

Beautiful set for a wonderful cause!!!

Breast cancer has touched our family with my Grandmother losing her battle. I recently had a lump found and was so thankful that the biopsies came up clear. I am now telling all my friends to start getting mammograms done as soon as they turn 40, instead of unkowingly waiting until 50 like I did. The more awareness we have of this disease, the more likely we are to win the battle and find a cure too!!!

[Lynn]

My mother has had breast cancer and I too thank God that she has survived. Awareness is always important. It can save lives. Thank you for the chance to win some pretty pink goodies. :)

[Rhonda]

My beloved Aunt Jean died of breast cancer. I remember the cobalt treatments that left her looking like she was burned in a fire and she still smiled through it all. God bless her and the thousands of women who bear witness to breast cancer.

[Paulette Akagi]

I have several BFFs who are survivors. My daughter recently had a breast cancer scare. Awareness, early detection and finding a cure are of utmost importance to me.

[LisaGWT]

My aunt found out she had BC on 8/7 and had a mastectomy 9/1 so this is a cause even closer to my heart now.

[Tona]

I have family members & friends that have had breast cancer. We need to make people aware so that they get regular mamograms & don't put off a visit to the doctor of they discover a lump.

[Christy Hendrickson]

Breast Cancer runs in my family. I have a Great Aunt. Aunt, & my sister had stage 3 breast cancer & had a breast removed & has survived the ordeal. It's so important to stay on top of this & get breast examines regulary. Thank you for a great giveaway on such an important cause that affects millions of people every year. Let find a cure!!!!

[Robin Buchholz]

My Grandmother and 1st cousin were diagnosed with breast cancer and are both survivors. I also have friends whose family members have had breast cancer. Nowadays, it seems like everyone knows someone with this horrible disease. I pray that a cure is found so no one has to suffer from it anymore!

[Dorina D]

No better cause than this. My mother was a 20 year breast cancer survivor. Due to her rare type of cancer, we started getting annual mamorgrams in our 20's and still do. Nothing more important for any woman than getting her mamogram annually. It can and does save your life.

[Kim H]

Im a new first time mom (at 40+ yrs) and want to make sure Im around for my little one, so this is important to me. thank you for promoting a great cause, and th echance to win something pink =)

[Gail L.]

I am a Cancer survivor.
1st stage ovarian cancer.
I was lucky.
Some in my family weren't so lucky.
Breast cancer has taken a few too many!
We need to find a cure, make people aware, it doesn't just happen to women.
Beautiful stationary for such a worthy cause.

I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma back in 1996. Although I'm considered "cured" of the disease, I am still living with the side-effects that the chemo and radiation have caused. Three months ago, I was told that from the chemo and radiation, my heart can no longer pump at its' normal capacity, also called Cardiomyopathy. So now, in addition to that,I am still haunted with the fear of the cancers (breast cancer in particular) that lie ahead of me in this journey. It is my hope that with all the recognition and publicity that breast cancer is getting, that someone will find a cure to eradicate it. Then we can work on finding cures for other cancers. Too many people, all great people, are being diagnosed with cancer... It's time to fight back and find a cure!

Beautiful collection! My sister is a breast cancer survivor along with many friends. Thanks for promoting this wonderful cause.

[Christine C]

What a lovely stationery set.
Breast cancer has taken my best friends cousin at a very young age, so I saw how it effected not only her immediate family but her extended family too.
I love that we have a special month to make people aware.

[Evelyn]

My sister survived; my friend lost her battle.

[Mel H]

Mom (who passed this year) was a double survivor, and I have several first cousins who have battled it at a young age...we are a very aware family!

[Madzik]

Wow. Super.
Bardzo lubię kolor różowy. Moja córeczka go wręcz uwielbia. Urządzając dla niej pokoik - mogłabym wykorzystać te cudne pudełeczka. Notesy oprawiłabym w słodkie okładki i służyłyby mi do celów wyższych :))))

Pozdrawiam

I have worked for about 15 years scheduling patients for mammograms and other breast imaging. It is amazing to me as a woman to see how strong we are when faced with such a thing as breast cancer. It is something that strikes at our identity as women on so many levels. I have felt honored to be able to rub shoulders with so many strong breast cancer survivors.

[Carol B]

What a lovely pink set! I have several friends who are survivors but one friend who did die of breast cancer. It is so important for us to share the message that breast cancer can be cured, especially if caught early!

[laura dassance]

breast cancer awareness is important to me because I have a friend who is a survivor!!!

[Debra]

My sister has the markers for breast cancer so everytime she goes to get check she panics. I Will be getting my first Mammogram this year, I am a little scared but I know it has to be done. I send prayers for anyone, man or women that has had or dealing with this . May God be with you.

[Ceely King]

Great giveaway. BTW, I love pink. :) We all need to do our part to 'save the boobies'. They are lifegivers, never forget that.

[Marissa weir]

As a Lactation consultant and a Doula I know that the risk of breast cancer can be reduced by healthy habits and breast-feeding for both child and mother. Breast-cancer awareness means and can educating everyone when it comes to the facts in the research.

[Nichole C]

My mother and aunt have both gone through breast cancer and have been in remission for a few years now. They are both strong women that showed great courage while going through treatment. My mother is a great example for me and my children to look up to.

[Karen Mc]

Great prize package for a great cause.
