Gracie (right)
“The fun doesn’t stop just because Gracie has stage 4 breast cancer,” says Gracie’s friend, who emailed me today to share about her buddy. Here’s what else she says:
“She is going on her 6th year of stage 4. We are a tight knit group of girlfriends. We love her, support her, laugh with her and keep her spirits up. We have even planned a girls trip in September to go to Forks Washington. We are huge Twilight fans too!”
“We are a creative group and we built a website in Gracie’s honor. We even came up with a breast cancer jewelry line to honor our friend. We wear our jewelry proudly. It is a reminder of our best friend and all she has to endure. Together we stay strong.”

I love the jewelry line. I helped create a pendant to support breast cancer early detection for the Women’s Breast Health Initiative. It’s called the B4Pink pendant, representing the 1 in 8 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Our organization aims to help women “before they turn pink.”
