Kickstarter

OH MY! It looks like we will be officially funded! For those of you who are considering donating in our last 24 hours, we have many hard costs associated with the project, so anything over and above will still be put to good use. We are overwhelmed and humble and grateful right now! 

WHY?

Breast cancer is not pink, pretty, funny, sexy, nor the good kind of cancer. 

At least one out of eight women and some men (possibly you or a loved one) will suffer from breast cancer in her or his lifetime. 

Speaking from experience, we know that the scariest part of any journey is the unknown. Imagine the power of knowing that other survivors have made it through a breast cancer diagnosis and are not only surviving, but thriving!

Two amazing breast cancer survivors–diagnosed in their 30’s–found that sharing their experiences from diagnosis to living with and moving beyond cancer was critical to their well rounded life after breast cancer.

WHAT?

Our book, There Is Life After Breast Cancer is a compilation of creative talents and stories of breast cancer survivors and their loved ones. 

Including both touching and humorous stories, our contributors hail from many different backgrounds and parts of the world. There Is Life After Breast Cancer packs big doses of courage and wisdom by letting survivors use their own words and artwork to inspire others. 

WHEN?

Our content is ready to print and we need funds to help us self-publish our spectacular 150+ page full color book. As soon as we get that pretty green bar on our Kickstarter page that says “FUNDING SUCCESSFUL!!”, we are ready to rock! 

We know it’s all or nothing with Kickstarter––our project must be fully funded or no money changes hands. We have put our heart and soul into this project, and are ready to make a giant leap for mankind. Please pledge early and often and don’t be shy. Post it on your facebook wall! Tumble it, tweet it, digg it, stumpleupon it, blog it, pin it, sharet, myspace it, talk about it on linkedIn, or shout it from the rooftops! 

WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU?

In addition to our unwavering love and gratitude, we have some cool prizes to share with you. The prizes are cumulative; the more you pledge, the more great stuff you get.

Please note: A portion of the proceeds of There Is Life After Breast Cancer will be donated to breast cancer research, as well as backing other worthy Kickstarter projects. We are happy to pay it forward.
