I just had the chance to write a story for AOL Health about the color pink and whether or not it’s gone too far. I’ve written about the breast cancer color before, and I’ve declared that I don’t find it personally offensive or anything — I kind of like it, really — but given the task to research it a bit, I came up with some thought-provoking stuff. Take a read for yourself, then tell me what you think about pink.

Just because I am totally and completely honored that so many people (57, to be exact) have donated to my Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Run, I’m listing each and every generous person right here. All these names will also appear on pink ribbons tied on my body as bracelets and anklets on the day of the race (Saturday, October 24).
I am a grateful girl, that’s for sure.
