Komen 5K Event Great Success for Blue Team May 11, 2009
I will provide more details in the next few days, but for now, please go to the PHOTOS section of the site and enjoy the 25+ photos courtesy of Blue Team photographers Chris Glasoe and Greg Wright. [Click on 'Slideshow' on the photos page.] We had a fantastic turnout, and there was a non-stop flow of questions, interest and support at our Blue Team/John W. Nick Foundation booth at the Komen Health Expo. Thanks everyone who participated and donated, time, money, supplies and support. We made many connections with other breast cancer organizations and interested individuals. The Blue Team is establishing its place at the breast cancer organizational table in Minnesota thanks to the work and support of all of you Blue Teamers out there!!
Enjoy looking through the photos. It was truly an inspiring day. We learned many things, not the least of which is that BLUE does go very nicely with PINK.
Thank you everyone!

________________________________________________Excerpts from our Guestbook at malebreastcancer.org.
- My father died of breast cancer. He had three mammograms before anyone decided to do a biopsy. It was too late. Male breast cancer should not be ignored.
- My husband was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 30 and passed away at the young age of 34. He spent the entire time of his battle with cancer educating about male breast cancer. I get so frustrated when breast cancer awareness excludes men.
