Since I slept about 16 hours yesterday/today due to being medicated in the hospital, I am now awake and wanting to share. Although I have a growing list of topics I want to write and post both on here and on the blog that I have in the works, I thought I would first talk about another odd or “meant to be” moment that happened in the weeks leading up to my diagnosis.
While I was in Design School at Kendall College of Art and Design oh so many years ago, I fell love with many breast cancer organizations like the Susan G. Komen organization and the pink ribbon association, because of my personal connection in loosing my very inspirational aunt. However because of how young I was at the time, I was personally touched by the mission of an organization called Boarding for Breast Cancer that is geared to informing a much younger audience on not only the risks and possible precautions to take in preventing breast cancer, but also on how to be proactive in early detection as well. During that time, I designed a poster campaign that won me a handful of local/regional design awards and I did get in contact with B4BC as well. (A big thank you to my former snowboarder college roommate and friend Margret for showing me this site and getting me involved so many years ago)
