Pink Ribbon Tour
The Pink Ribbon Tour was started by a guy with a big heart who drives around across America stopping in cities along the way to promote breast cancer awareness.
Here are some pictures from when the pink firetruck went to Reading, PA. Earle's cousins were there, put my name on the truck and sent me some pictures!

Horror Movie Blog
I started a horror movie blog called "Spine-chilling Cinema". I watch tons of scary movies and always want to tell my horror movie buff friends about the ones that are a must see. However I can never remember to mention them all, or any for that matter. (thanks tricia for giving me this idea by a comment she made about wanting to know about some movies I watched and liked).
I'm no movie critic. I will attempt to write a short synopsis of the film, whether or not any known actors or actresses are in them (many movies I watch don't always have familiar faces), and what I think overall of the movie.
Be warned that I do somtimes like the dumb, off the wall scary films. Some are even comical (not meant to be). I like those too. I probably should add a category that says "probably sucks to most but I liked it".
I would also love it if anyone would leave me some movie suggestions in the comment section of the blog!
Making Strides for Breast Cancer
Today I volunteered at the American Cancer Society: Making Strides for Breast Cancer. It was held in Ocean City, NJ. I basically just had to work in the Survivor Tent and hand out pink shirts. I froze my ass off but met a lot of cool women who are breast cancer survivors. Even a few young ones. I made sure to tell them about The Young Survivor Coalition and how amazing it is to be on the boards, go to the conferences and meet other young women that have been diagnosed.
One woman was funny. She was 38 and just was diagnosed in February. I told her about the YSC and about the website. She turned to her friend and said to us.."tell her what its called so she can remember, I can't remember anything'!
Man, do i know that feeling!

Stefanie LaRue Advocacy Coalition
Stefanie was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at the age of 30. Both of us were told we were too young to have breast cancer and like myself, her lump was found by her boyfriend.
From her website:
The Stefanie LaRue Advocacy Movement boldly educates young women in their teens, twenties and thirties that they too can get breast cancer even with no family history. Younger women are often misdiagnosed because they are told they are "too young and don't fit the profile". A delay in correctly diagnosing the cancer often allows the disease to progress to a later, more critical stage. Since the type of breast cancer that typically occurs in younger women is particularly aggressive, treatment can be more severe and less effective. Many times the prognosis is terminal. Young women are dying needlessly who might otherwise have survived, given early detection and proper diagnoses.
