Today, we stand up in support of survivors around the world in the battle against breast cancer, while remembering those we have lost.
To every charitable organization working so tirelessly, your commitment to research will one day find a cure, and until then, your courage will comfort those in need.
My grandmother Dottie and our dear friend Maryann are both four-year survivors and still going strong. May they live disease-free forever and encourage early diagnosis in others.
To help Miles of Hope, a charity close to our own hearts, provide support for people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley, click here.
Lovely post and such an important cause to support! I am proud to say that my sister-in-law’s (brother’s wife)sister is a geneticist who does breast cancer research. I am impressed by her and her efforts.
Love this post. I just posted about Breast Cancer because I personally know so many people effected by Breast Cancer including many people currently enduring this horrible disease. What a great honor for your family. Thanks for supporting such a great cause.
i am all over this! supporting the ladies!
love + big hugs.

October is always a great month for remembering those who have had breast cancer and who have survived and those who didn’t. Many friends have had this awful disease and I am always thankful for their survival. Oh, and the flowers are gorgeous – a wonderful reminder of what month it is.
E & J, a LOVELY tribute to such a great cause! I adore that bouquet. I’m having a girls night in party tonight (it’s a scentsy party too, but no rep here, so basically an excuse to get together and sip cotton canditinis!) While making an apple pie last night, my youngest INSISTED we use pink crystal sugar instead of clear for a dusting on the top pie crust because they learned about breast cancer month in school. It’s NOT the prettiest apple pie but the sentiment is strong!
Love this, if we all stand up a cure will be found.
xoxo
Gorgeous – thank you guys so much.
A good friend just finished with her chemo and radiation for breast cancer and pray it’s totally gone. She kept such a wonderful attitude throughout her entire ordeal and is now excited about her reconstruction surgery in January. I hope every female out there remembers to get their mammogram. Thank you for this post Eddie.
Here’s to Dottie and all the other survivors. May we find a cure so that the little girls born today will not face this frightening disease. Gorgeous post and arrangement!
Met your darling friend Cara last night!!!

Beautiful. Thank you for posting.
What a beautiful way to support a great cause – for the women who have passed and the ones who keep on fighting.
What a beautiful post. Thank you for doing it. The arrangement is gorgeous too.
Beautifully said!
… question; how did you get the “Pink ribbon” to stick on the other ribbons? Hot glue would shoe through the ribbon, no? Dbl sided tape, can’t be? Please enlighten me 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend,

Everyone I know has been touched by breast cancer. Thank you for this lovely post and that beautiful pink floral arrangement!

I am celebrating pink too.

Just had my biopsy yesterday. Now we are waiting for the path report. Beautiful arrangement, as always. A great cause to support!
It’s great that you’re supporting such an important cause. Your arrangement is gorgeous- I love the way you did the ribbon.
You brighten the darkest of days. What a beautiful arrangement!!! Thanks Eddie!
Wonderful post and beautiful flowers. I lost my grandmother to breast cancer and my mom has had it twice, so it is a cause dear to my heart. May they one day find a cure!
What a wonderful post in support of the many who have fought and lost or continue to battle this horrible disease!
My dear friend Shelley is a survivor and for that I am eternally grateful!

Eddie, thanks for the reminder. This disease touches so many families, including mine.
How wonderful to hear that your grandmother and close friend are surviving. We can’t do enough for those living with cancer.
Great post Eddie! The more people talk about it, the better. Have a great weekend! xoxo

I hope one day there won’t have to be a pink day, I have too many friends and family who’ve suffered! (Your flowers are incredibly beautiful!!

Hugs to you, Eddie and Jaithan, for posting this! I just lost a friend – at age 29 – to breast cancer. Another friend (30) is a survivor, and another one (early 30s) is just starting her battle. Here’s to Dottie and Maryann and everyone who has or will do battle with this terrible disease.

Beautiful. Thanks for your tribute and support. It seems to be who you are. Have a great weekend. Mona
This is such a beautiful, meaningful and thoughtful post…and your arrangement is truly a special gift to not only those who are in the process of working through this disease, and those that have survived it, but also to those who have lost loved ones because of it…myself being one.
Thank you ♥
Blessings and hugs to Gma Dottie, Maryann, and to both of you!

E&J what a sensational bouquet-tribute to a worthy cause. Let’s beat this disease!!
Beautiful arrangement and post. Such a terrific cause. I have several survivors in my life and have lost a very close friend.
Every woman in the world treasures your using your platform for support. Actually, my neighbor, a man surprisingly contracted breast cancer. You don’t hear much about it, but it does happen to both genders.
Best,

Unfortunately I’m one of the 10 per cent of women who developed breast cancer for the second time. In my case it is a new cancer in the other breast . . . not a recurrance. I was first diagnosed in 1992 with breast cancer. A lumpectomy, radiation and tamoxifin for five years seemed to do the trick. I was counting the days . . . after five years isn’t everyone cancer free? I wanted a special pin that said you have made the five-year goal. Hooray! That’s what I thought until April 2010 when it was discovered I had breast cancer in the other breast. You can imagine my shock when a mammogram showed another small tumour in the other breast. I had beat the disease for 18 years and I will beat it again! I didn’t cry when I was told — let’s just get on with the surgery and treatment. During the past 18 years I have been lucky enough to see my daughter graduate from university, get married, have two darling children and turn out to be a beautiful, kind woman. I’m planning to be at my granddaughter’s wedding. I will really be an old lady by then! I think I should shoot for seeing her graduate from university too. I will be an old woman when she gets married. If I just make it to see her complete her university education I will be very happy. I’m looking forward to all the new adventures I will embark on in the next 18 years. A special thank you to Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto, Ontario Canada.

Eddie,
Such beautiful photographs, and such wise words. Thank you.

What a beautiful arrangement in tribute of all of the strong women (and men) who have survived or unfortunately succumbed to this awful disease.

My best friend
is currently undergoing
chemo for breast cancer
and my aunt was diagnosed
and treated last year.
It is a tough journey but
if caught early, that is
what it is: a big detour
in the road of life and
NOT the end of the road.
Prevention and early detection
are so important. Thank
you for the beautiful pink
bouquet ~ it’s brightened
my morning, already.

What a beautiful post. I think breast cancer, and cancer in general, is one of those things that touches everyone in one way or another. Glad to hear your grandmother and friend are doing great.
Thank you for posting this. A huge support and kind gesture to all who are affected – directly or indirectly. It’s a cruel illness that take far too many lives.
Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. We are purring in delight of being in Sweden. Had the most fantastic weekend in Stockholm with good friends. I could stay here forever..!
Big Autumnal hugs to you both!

thank you for this–I have two great friends (both diagnosed in mid-thirties!) who are fighting. Yes, early diagnosis!!!
What a lovely bouquet, and such an important issue to support and post about!
What a wonderful way to honor your Grandmother, she taught you well! Three cheers for Dottie, the original style maker. Hip Hip Hurray!
Beautiful post; great cause. All that pink ribbon reminds me of a pink ribbon Christmas tree picture on my blog. You have some lovely ribbon there!
A wonderful cause and expressed so well – what a beautiful bouquet too. KG
A very, very worthy cause – thank you for supporting!
