Pink Ribbon Connection



Last week I was honored to be able to attend a breast cancer event in downtown Indy.  Pink Ribbon Connection is a non-profit breast cancer support and information organization.  They hold a luncheon fashion show fundraiser every year and my hospital bought a table and invited survivors.  It was an amazing afternoon.  I arrived at the Marriott and the hallways were filled with women in PINK.  I checked in and got my name tag which said "Survivor" on it...that's my new title :)  There were booths and tables along the hallway with information and freebies.  I located my nurse and my fellow survivor friend Debbie.  We then ordered a pink drink to loosen up.  Next, we grabbed some props and headed to the photo booth!

Then we located some other people from our group and went into the ballroom to find our table.  We were seated right next to the runway!  There ended up being 4 survivors and our Nurse Sharlee.  All the models in the fashion show were either breast cancer survivors or health care providers working with breast cancer patients.  Sharlee said she's going to see about getting me in the show next year!
