Well PINK OCTOBER has arrived! Did you know over 40 cities around the world will unite this October to for Global Landmarks Illumination in the search for a cure?
Including landmarks around Brisbane such as the Story Bridge! So its a great excuse to go out and about to see the sights - which will be pink see for details. Sometimes all you need to unite with the world to defeat Breast Cancer is to give a little of your time to raise awareness. Like grabbing a few girlfriends to have a quiet drink and see Brisbane turn pink!
For events details see the Global Illumination Australia website.
October is as much about raising awareness for the need to continue research and early detection programs as it is about raising money. Its also a month to celebrate the gift of friendship and appreciate life itself. So this October unite with women around the world to FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!

Again this week I have discovered many different ways to raise awareness of issues surrounding a woman discovering she has cancer. It is not just her life that is dramaticily change but the lives of those who surround her. As the age of women discovering they have cancer seems to being getting younger, so to is the age of their loved ones. We often forget the family in focusing on the person who is ill. My attention this week has been drawn to the children of cancer patients and the need to help them understand what is happening around them.
This war against cancer has so many battle fronts I was completely unaware of before I created this blog. The week I discovered to new organizations involved in the support of cancer patients. The Look Good; Feel Better program which is supported by the cosmetic industry and the Breast Cancer Network. Or blog has links to all the organisations, programs and campaigns happening this month.
So whether your attend a Pink Hope Breakfast, a Mc Graph Foundation High Tea, Hosting a I heart/pink afternoon tea; buying or selling pink ribbon merchanise, dressing pink at your workplace, attending a lighting pink landmark, dancing or running for a cure or coming to A Girls Night In - remember it doesn't matter how you fight as long as you fight like a girl.
Don't forget if you can prove you've already given to the cancer foundation or one of the above and you still feel like a night of fashion your welcome to come at cost and under 10's are free!
Enjoy Fighting Like A Girl this week!
