Painting Challenge: Pink Ribbon

October 13, 2022 / Diann Zimmerman

To recognize Breast Cancer Awareness month, this week’s challenge is to…

Paint a pink ribbon.

Include the topic hashtag in your Watercolor – Beginners and Beyond Facebook group post: #pinkribbon

Deadline October 21, 2022, 11:59 pm ET

Let’s fill the group with pink ribbons to honor survivors, to remember those lost to the disease, and to support those currently fighting breast cancer. ❤️

This is very personal to me. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was only 42. Fortunately with early detection and surgery, she survived it. My best friend had breast cancer, and is cancer-free 10 years later. Since my mother had cancer, I am considered high risk. I get a mammogram every year. I’m always stressed waiting for the results. I have been so fortunate that the results have been favorable.

Early detection is so important. I urge every woman to keep up with mammograms.
