Parada Del Sol event in Scottsdale







We had a wonderful time in Scottsdale at the Parada Del Sol event, it is great that organizations like ours and the Tough Enough to Wear Pink organization can come together to help women all over the country. They asked us who we thought they could give some of the money raised from the rodeo and we thought the Wellness Community Arizona was a good choice at this time. Like we have said, we support all organizations that support women who are going through cancer.

Singleton Mom's WOW!!!!!! What an Organization







We were invited to the 5k walk at Freestone park by Singleton Mom's. We couldn't have been more impressed by the overall love and support by everybody participating in the event. They are a first class organization and anyone associated with them are in very caring and good hands. We hope to be involved with them on future events that help families that have been affected by cancer.






We have been traveling the Country and participating in events locally for 16 Months now and we have been involved with numerous organizations. Realizing that we are a young non-profit, we also feel like we can see organizations for who they are. These organizations are our favorites, they've been selfless, caring and very professional, Banner of Hope, The Wellness Center, Bosom Buddies, American Cancer Society and Singleton Mom's. Like we stated, we are new and young, we have not yet met everyone that is out there working their tails off helping people affected by cancer, so I am sure our list will change as we grow.

Bosom Buddies (Just like it sounds)











This was one of our best small events yet, the people where so nice and the support for the fight was tremendous. These ladies played some serious softball and they raised lot's of money for the Bosom Buddies over the weekend. Lisa and I are sure glad they invited us to be a part of the fun and we look forward to doing it every year.

Gold Rush Day's in Wickenburg






We had a great time in Wickenburg at the Gold Rush Day's. I want to thank Leslie MCCardle and Joan McDermott for inviting us to participate in the parade. We met all the wonderful ladies in the Breast Cancer Support Group. We are starting to fill up all our weekends for the year and we are creating quite a following for the pink fire engines and our crew.

Visiting ASU



We visited an ASU women's basketball game, made some new friends and shared a few stories of our journey and the people we are trying to help. The spirit line came out to take a few pictures, We told them about our journey across the Country, we explained to them the importance of having so many signatures of survivors on the truck. I shared with them that our youngest survivor is just thirteen and about 1/6 of the survivors on the truck are under the age of 30 and that we have a 48 year survivor who is 84. I also told them that all our trucks or vehicles will be pink because we will be supporting all women in this Country who battle cancer, we will will rally people from all over to care enough to wear pink on the 25th, 26th and 27th of October to show all our women we care, that as a collective group we will march on their behalf, to say enough is enough.

Pink Heals Tour formerly Pink Ribbon Tour




We experienced an amazing transformation on our last tour across the Country, we began supporting all women and their fight against cancer. It left room for all our leaders in all our communities to decide who they wanted to give their fundraising dollars too, it also showed the women of their communities that they cared by wearing the pink shirts. All charities across the country who support women benefited by our efforts. We have a truck that has gone across the country to support the fight against breast cancer and we now have a ladder truck that will be pink and it will support all women as a whole and their fight against cancer. We will call our next tour the Pink Heals Tour, if we all are in pink as a collective group, pink will heal a women's soul. At the very least, these three days that we call the Cares Enough to Wear Pink days, will be days all of us honor women by wearing pink shirts.
This is a picture of the ladder truck, it is being painted at RC Towing in Casa Grande. Breakdown is the custom painter that has taken on the task of making this a pink ladder truck. It will be an amazing show of support for the ladies when it is done and yes they will be able to sign the ladder truck when it is done.

Making events is our top priority







Two sisters, one celebrating a birthday and using the party to raise money for a breast cancer organization that is building a medical center, the inspiration on behalf of her mother who is a survivor. We are so lucky to have been invited to be a part of this event and we look forward to having them as friends for a long time.
Bethany Learning Center asked us to come by and show off the truck to all the preschoolers and teachers for a few hours.



We also spent the day at the three day event on Sunday to cheer on the walkers, it was good to see so many walkers that have already signed our truck. We also saw ladies wearing our pink heals shirts and even found time to stop and let a few hundred walkers sign the truck.






Please understand that we will visit any group that is supporting a women who is going through cancer and we are FREE. We believe in Karma and we believe that this fight is way to big to close our doors to other organizations, just to save a few dollars. Cancer is the biggest bully of them all and we need to come together to fight it, that means more of us who haven't been affected, need to step up and lead the way. Men speaking on behalf of our women, wearing their color. (pink) Leaders who are men standing in the front showing that they care just by wearing pink, eventually marching on their behalf because it is in our nature as men to take care of our women. When this happens on a National scale people will take notice and you will see things get accomplished, "I can feel it"
