Milestones and MemoriesAs you all know October is Breast Cancer month We are busy Busy BUSY Almost two dozen events this month will help bring awareness and some much needed funding to our organization In addition October is a month when we celebrate the advances in breast cancer diagnosis and treatments Please take this opportunity to jot a note to yourself or put a reminder on your calendar to conduct your self breast examination every month

This is also an opportune time for me to take a few minutes and say a very loud ldquoThank you contribu-torsrdquo

Because of you more than 200 people have received financial assistance for surgery and treatment of Breast Cancer Thank you for supporting Friends in Pink

A couple other noteworthy milestones are on the ho-rizon Effective 2015 Cancer Awareness month turns 30 and Friends in Pink is 10 years old Yes 2015 is our 10th anniversary We started out with a hand-ful of people led by our founder Nancy OrsquoNeill This wonderful group of people decided no one should go without breast cancer treatment simply because they have little or no adequate health insurance Based on this goal we were born first as Friends of the Breast Care Center of the Treasure Coast then became Pink

Tie Friends Inc and now we do business as Friends in Pink

The strong group of people who started humbly be-came the backbone of our volunteer driven organiza-tion as Board of Director Presidents Vice Presidents Treasurers Secretaries and volunteers extraordinaire We exist because of the foresight self-sacrifice and fortitude of our previous leadership and volunteers We begin 2015 with an homage to our past on Janu-ary 31 2015 Our ldquoFriends in Pink Galardquo will be at the Flagler Center in downtown Stuart The unique historical site will hold 200 guests and celebrate our accomplishments while having fun and raising money for the people we help which is always a priority of our Signature events

We look forward to inviting every single person who has been involved in Friends In Pink from the begin-ning If you donrsquot hear from us please reach out to us Missing you will certainly be an oversight on our part We want everyone to celebrate our history and be present for a look into the future of growth and expan-sion With the backdrop of historical Stuart we will honor all those who contributed to the Friends In Pink legacy

By Melissa Yashuk

To know Sandra Potena you knew how kind and wonderful she was to everyone around her Deborah Segal will never forget the sweetness of her sister San-dra

She was a few years younger than Debo-rah but the two very close In a moment their lives changed Nancy was diag-nosed with breast cancer

ldquoThere was no breast cancer at all in our familyrdquo Deborah said There were never any biopsies done None of the typical in depth procedures that could help her sis-ter were performed After several years Sandra lost her battle with breast cancer

ldquoMy sister was very fortunate She had insurance which helped with her treat-mentsrdquo said Deborah

Deborah has started volunteering with

Friends in Pink to help others with breast cancer that arenrsquot as fortunate as her sister who had breast cancer

ldquoThere are so many people that donrsquot have insurance or not adequate insur-ance Up until recently you couldnrsquot get insurance if you had cancerrdquo she said

With assistance from Deborah Friends in Pink is looking to expand its reach in Vero Beach with a volunteer meeting

ldquoWe need to let people in Vero know about the organization and figure out how to get the message outrdquo she said

The charity is looking at conducting volunteer meetings on the third Wednes-day of the month but nothing has been confirmed yet Keep checking Facebook for meeting information to come To access the page go here facebookcomFriendsInPink1

By Melissa Yashuk

To know Sandra Potena you knew how kind and wonderful she was to everyone around her Deborah Segal will never forget the sweetness of her sister San-dra

She was a few years younger than Debo-rah but the two very close In a moment their lives changed Nancy was diag-nosed with breast cancer

ldquoThere was no breast cancer at all in our familyrdquo Deborah said There were never any biopsies done None of the typical in depth procedures that could help her sis-ter were performed After several years Sandra lost her battle with breast cancer

ldquoMy sister was very fortunate She had insurance which helped with her treat-mentsrdquo said Deborah

Deborah has started volunteering with

Friends in Pink to help others with breast cancer that arenrsquot as fortunate as her sister who had breast cancer

ldquoThere are so many people that donrsquot have insurance or not adequate insur-ance Up until recently you couldnrsquot get insurance if you had cancerrdquo she said

With assistance from Deborah Friends in Pink is looking to expand its reach in Vero Beach with a volunteer meeting

ldquoWe need to let people in Vero know about the organization and figure out how to get the message outrdquo she said

The charity is looking at conducting volunteer meetings on the third Wednes-day of the month but nothing has been confirmed yet Keep checking Facebook for meeting information to come To access the page go here facebookcomFriendsInPink1
