The Pink Kick-Starter Project Hates Success!
Well, sort of…. You see if the Pink Kick-Starter Project www.pinkstarter.org continues to havesuccess like we did in 2011, it just means that more women are still battling breast cancer. Truthbe known, we have a whole host of things we would rather do but as long as cancer continuesto stick around, we want to provide some help. So we continue in our efforts.
2011 was a great year for the Pink Kick-Starter Project, a registered program of Bikers BattlingBreast Cancer www.BikersBattlingBreastCancer.org and this year we added “real horses” toride with our “steel horses” by promoting an event at the Georgia Equestrian Center whichraised over $7,000 to allow the purchase of 90 Pink Kick-Starter™ Kits for use by the PatientNavigators at Piedmont Fayette Hospital. The Pink Kick-Starter™ Kit is a package designedby tia lynn art, inc.www.tialynnart.com to be given to women recently diagnosed with breastcancer. The kit includes; the Love Me…Love My Journey Organizer, journal, Meditation CD,a Pink Kick-Starter Project Bandana along with a host of gift certificates and fun surprises. Allthese items are enclosed in a trademarked “Love me…Love my Journey” string backpack forease of carry.
