What a pink morning! We raised ~$1,000 for National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), we ate, we laughed, we relaxed and we came together as a community.
My heart is full of gratitude to everyone who came, helped, and made this morning rich and special. Thank you Northside Montessori School for the space, Brick Lane Espresso for the beautiful food,
apehoney_ , bellyME , Mamma Chai | Ayurvedic•Indian•Chai•Teas•Organic Tea & Spices🍃, Ultraceuticals Skincare , Beef tallow skincare, Brigid Reid , Veronica Morales Ch for your generous donations for our goodie bags and raffle prizes.
Just pasting what I read today about why I do it:
“Other than the fact that I know too many women who are or were dealing with breast cancer, this is a topic close to my heart. Most of you already know this, but for those who don’t - I was diagnosed with the gene mutation (AKA the Angelina Jolie gene) that increases your chances of having breast and ovarian cancer. I made the decision to go through a preventative surgery that included a double mastectomy and reconstruction using fat from my belly. The discovery and the option to prevent it are all a result of extensive research. Being a genetic disorder, you can understand why getting more research done, finding alternatives and better screening is so important to our family.”
My fundraising page will still be open throughout October’s awareness month so let’s raise as much as we can!
