In The Pink

Today is Breast Cancer Awareness day in New Zealand.   Also in Canada where Emily at La Dolce Vita  has created todays blog challenge "In the Pink" .  Emily has asked us  all to make pink food  to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

Cancer can strike anyone.  It doesn't discriminate in any way.  Money, good looks, fame or even a university degree will not protect you from cancer.  Luckily many cancers are survivable.  The trick is to catch them early enough before they spread. Then with the help of  modern drugs and dedicated doctors you can overcome cancer. 

This is why we have  awareness days. They are there to remind us to be aware of the signs and symptons of cancer.    Here and here  are two organisations in New Zealand where you can get information about breast cancer.

I hope my pink cupcakes  will remind you to check your breasts today.

Visit Emily at La Dolce Vita  in a few days to see more pink food.
