Strength of a Rose

Rose on chemo day

Rose on chemo day

Reader Jessica shared that she was left speechless after seeing the photos of 44 women and their breast cancer scars. Ditto for me. And after spending some time touring Jessica’s Strength of a Rose blog last night, I realize I’m at a loss for words again.

You see, Jessica lost her 54-year-old mother Rose to breast cancer seven months ago, and this is her space for telling a story of love, loss and healing. It’s a powerful journey — with a passage from Rose, posts from Jessica and photos that capture family and cancer in ways both beautiful and raw. Truly touching.

And if you really want to be inspired, hop on over to The Rose Run, and check out Jessica’s efforts to raise cash for the cure. The first run scored more than $10,000, and the next one is scheduled for July 17, 2010 in Petersburg, Michigan. Now, you might not be able to participate in this local event, but stay tuned, because you could be a virtual runner.

    This is an amazing post. My wife recently was diagnosed with cancer and I can definitely relate to this article. It’s an amazing feat to raise over $10,000 in awareness funds.

    We recently used Rubber Bracelets to raise funds for her cancer treatments. Our community really pulled together and we were able to raise enough for the treatments! I’m really grateful for everyone’s generosity!

    I’m so glad I saw your response Rubber Bracelets. I’m the author of that site, Strenghtofarose.com. In next year’s fundraiser, Custom Rubber Bracelets are on my list as part of our 5k celebration. Is this your site…the rubber bracelets one? Do you have any advice on purchasing them in bulk? Great job fundraising to help your wife, what a very smart and productive thing to do.
