As National Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaches in October, we wanted to introduce you to - an online community on MySpace where those touched by breast cancer can connect and provide support, comfort, and encouragement to one another.
On http://www.pinktogether.com/ everyone can share hope by posting and reading inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors and supporters within the community.
The site is part of Pink Together®, a national campaign to support those impacted by breast cancer and to help raise awareness of the disease. To support Pink Together, General Mills is donating $2 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and is turning the packaging pink next month on an assortment of its most beloved brands. General Mills will also donate $1, up to $20,000, each time you post a comment of encouragement, send a virtual flower bouquet or share a story on PinkTogether.com in October.
Be sure to visit PinkTogether.com and read some of the inspiring stories. You can also watch short videos from the 2009 Pink Together Survivor Ambassadors talking about their journeys with breast cancer.
To help generate awareness, we have an Inspiring Hope gift basket that includes a sleeved travel mug, a running ribbon charm bracelet, a pink leather strap keychain, a pink cinch bag, and a set of inspirational note cards for one lucky reader. All of the gift basket items are from http://www.shopkomen.com/, where 25 percent of the merchandise purchase price benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in the fight against breast cancer.

I lost my mom to breast cancer when she was only 38. It is very inspiring to see all these wonderful woman defeating breast cancer.
main entry: I found it so touching that I could read about a survivor and send them a virtual flower to help brighten there day & most of all give them and myself as well encouragement. A little goes along way and when we all come together anything is possible.Hope can heal & cure if we let it.
