The Pink Ribbon Effect I'm just a Breast Cancer survivor paying it forward. Visit my website thepinkribboneffect.org It was then my trauma and tragedy turned to passion and purpose.

My journey began in 1978 with my mother's diagnosis of stage 4 Breast Cancer. Needless to say, I have been 'living' with this disease since I was eight years old. In 2014, I was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 1 DCIS HER 2 Neg PR positive. Given the choices of a lumpectomy, mastectomy, or double mastectomy, I chose the latter. I was a supporter for many years participating in walks/races, spreading awareness, etc. It wasn't until I transitioned from supporter to survivor that I truly understood how short life is-when we come face to face with our own mortality. I am not alone on this path; I have had friends, family, & colleagues who have been diagnosed with this horrible disease. It not only causes hardships on the diagnosed (mentally & physically) but also on the family. My purpose & passion is simple: to unfurl acts of kindness for those dealing with Breast Cancer; hence the Pink Ribbon Effect. How truly wonderful it will be to fund raise/hold events to be able to provide items or services for those embarking on this tumultuous journey whether a mastectomy, double mastectomy, chemotherapy, and / or reconstructive surgery, etc.

My dream of being able to offer a woman and her immediate family a week's stay in the OBX will soon come true. "Surfivin" is the name I have created for the get-away because we are all surfivin' the wave we call life. Some people's waves are big while others have calm seas. Regardless, we're in this together.
