To celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) StrollerStridesFlagstaff has gone pink!
Consider yourself very lucky if breast cancer has not hit someone you know- it is a very personal cause for me as my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 39. She is very lucky to have survived with "just" a single mastectomy. Because my mother was diagnosed so young- I have had to be especially viligant in my breast health, but it is really something everyone needs to watch.
