I’m pissed because breast cancer f*cks up so many lives. I’m pissed because it feels like healthcare organizations have to scrape money together to provide people with the screening, treatment and support resources they need.
Pink Ink at the 3-Day
I was on the lookout for pink ribbon tattoos while at the Seattle 3-Day and wasn’t disappointed – 14 that I hadn’t seen before, two that had been updated, and one of my favorites from last year.
Joining the Seattle 3-Day Crew
My first 3-Day experience ended up being something completely different from what I had expected – I decided I would definitely participate in the 2010 Seattle 3-Day, but as a crew member, not a walker.
Team Tracy & the Seattle 3-Day walk
Tracy was 33 when she received her first breast cancer diagnosis, and recently wrapped up treatment on her second bout. She started walking in the 3-Day years before she became a breast cancer survivor, and is walking with 26 of her friends in the Seattle event at the end of September.

I bet everybody’s done it: Made a purchase in part because some of the proceeds went to a particular cause. I’ll admit to some pink kitchen gadgets, running gear, two lovely champagne flutes, and one of my favorite watches. Have I been pinkwashed?
