Anyone who watches NFL football has certainly noticed that the coaches and players have been wearing an awful lot of pink attire this month: shoes, wristbands, towels, caps... The pink gear is one way the NFL has been promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Fans interested in participating can purchase pink NFL gear here.

I came across a related story this morning and decided to share it with you, as you're not likely to come across it yourself unless you're

a) dieting, and
b) using Sparkpeople to track your diet, fitness and general health.

As it happens, I've been doing both of those things for the past year. But, that's not the point of this post. The point of this post is to encourage you to read an inspiring story of someone who has survived - twice! - breast cancer and is living life to its fullest. After you've read it, go do something you love and get some pure joy out of life today.
