It started in 2009 when a medical glove manufacturer, Medline, produced the original pink glove video to raise breast cancer awareness. The video has since generated more 13 million views on YouTube and inspired countless pink glove dance videos and events around the world. The response to the original video from the healthcare community, survivors and family members of survivors was overwhelming and heartwarming. I want to share this wonderful video with you.

Seeking Self-Awareness
Job 7:17; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 2 Peter 1:3
Every man has forgotten who he is. One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star. You shall love the Lord your God; but you shall not know yourself.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and if you add your pink photos to this group you can help to raise up to €30,000 for local charities.
For each pink photo you add to www.flickr.com/groups/pink2008, Yahoo! for Good will donate €1, up to a maximum of €30,000. They will split the total equally between 5 charities in UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Lets add our PINK photos to the group please.
As far as im concerned $30,000 isnt nearly enough but every little helps.
Awareness should also not just be for October.
A new awareness campaign was launched at Manchester Airort today as part of an annual operation aimed at tackling Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Officers from GMP and Border Force will be joined by charities and partners from today, Thursday 21st July, until Monday 25th July in the departures area of Manchester Airport for Operation Limelight.
Over the next few days they will be speaking to holiday makers and other visitors to the airport and also showcasing new artwork that will be used throughout the year to signpost victims and those who wish to report concerns about FGM.
GMP and Border Force will then carry out the same operation in arrivals from Tuesday 30th August to Friday 2nd September.
This is the third year of Operation Limelight, with hundreds of families given advice on FGM and other crimes over the past two years. This year’s posters are aimed at adults and children who are travelling through the airport to encourage them to report concerns.
Detective Inspector Nathan Percival from GMP said: “This operation targets busy times in an airport with flights to key destinations for these illegal practices. The summer holidays are a prime time for parents to take young girls abroad to have this abhorrent procedure carried out.
“By working with Border Force and partner agencies we want to educate people passing through the airport on what to look out for and how they can help potential victims of FGM but also to send a clear message to anyone inflicting this procedure on their child or carrying it out themselves – this crime carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison and we will do everything that we can to keep children safe from this type of harm.”
Minister for Vulnerability, Safeguarding and Countering Extremism Sarah Newton said: “FGM is a crime and it is child abuse. We will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls.
“The summer holidays are a time when girls may be most at risk of being taken abroad to undergo FGM, and hundreds of Border Force officials at UK ports and airports are trained to look for potential victims and perpetrators. I highly commend the work of Greater Manchester Police, Border Force and the charities and organisations involved at Manchester airport to keep these girls safe.
"The UK is now a world leader in tackling FGM, and we have significantly strengthened the law. But too many people are still living in silence. We know that changing attitudes within communities is key to ending FGM, and we will continue to work with community organisations and survivors to help drive progress.”
Operation Limelight began just after GMP issued its first FGM protection order last July. Since then the Force has issued five orders in total, protecting people from the illegal procedure.
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said: “Female genital mutilation is child abuse. We all have a responsibility to protect our children and put a stop to this horrendous and criminal practice. We’ve been doing a lot of work across Greater Manchester, bringing police, councils, health, education and voluntary organisations together to raise awareness of female genital mutilation, educate communities and encourage people to speak out. This operation is part of this positive work and I hope it sends a strong message to victims that they don’t have to suffer in silence – help is available.”
FGM involves the partial or total removal of the external genitalia or injury to the female genital organs whether for cultural or any other non-therapeutic reasons. It is prevalent in countries in mid and northern Africa and parts of Asia. It is allegedly carried out to safeguard a young woman's virginity and her family's honour, and can involve a festival or celebration as part of the ceremony.
Passengers are reassured that although incidents do not happen on a daily occurrence, the summer holidays call for extra vigilance as parents often use this period as an opportunity to take young girls abroad.
For full guidelines on honour-based abuse, FGM and the law please visit the Home Office website – link below. Anyone with concerns is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or the FGM Helpline on 0800 028 3550. You can also contact the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.

You should call 101, national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
This is the last of the three self portraits from the abandoned Nike Missile Base. This is an underground bunker where Kilroy tells me they kept the tactical missiles. They're no longer here, of course.
Luckily the hatch was open, allowing me to explore all the odd and crusty artifacts. If you view this shot large, you can see a typewriter just over my left shoulder. A few minutes earlier, I had moved it in an attempt to do a portrait focusing on that typewriter. I felt much less comfortable with that plan when moving the typewriter, a field mouse nonchalantly crawled out of the keys, stared at me, and sauntered off.
This is a photo that i shot in January of 2010. I took this into Photoshop CS5 and healed out the power lines. I really just re-uploaded this to help demonstrate the power of CS5's Content Aware feature. As you can see, it is almost perfect compared to the original. There are some differences, but nothing noticeable. With the right size brush and a steady hand, you can heal out almost anything.

this week's challenge....."shoot something commemorating, honoring or promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Month", in other words "Think Pink"!

October 15th is the International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, a global expression of sympathy, remembrance and support for those too many families who are affected by the loss of a baby in pregnancy or beyond.
Across the world, at 7pm local time, candles will be lit for those babies who have died. At this time we will remember them all; either our own children or babies of others who have nonetheless touched our lives in such a brief time.
In the UK, Babyloss is a collaborative awareness effort involving charities and voluntary organisations which support those affected, and lobby for research and action to understand more about and, where possible, prevent pregnancy loss.
You don't have to have been affected by loss yourself to help; though sadly the numbers of families affected makes it unlikely that there in no-one in your circle that has not suffered in this way.
You can help in so many ways:
* If you know someone grieving for their child - drop them a line today. Give them a hug. Show them you remember their loss and that you are there to share their memories and sadness. Too many families feel locked in silence, afraid to start a conversation, afraid to upset others, and alone in their grief.
* Click on the site www.babyloss.com, and find out more about the organisations who support those in need. Could you volunteer? Could you raise money or awareness for these causes?
* Even quietly finding out more and being able to pay that understanding and support forward if you encounter a person in need in the future is invaluable. Sometimes the biggest change is in thought, not just in deed.
With this shot I am marking the day, and I welcome you to share in marking it.
Vertical Rush - Today, a group of wonderfully crazy people are going to run up 42 floors – 920 stairs – 600 feet, in order to raise awareness and money for Shelter, a charity for the Homeless.
I'm not fit enough to join them but would like to help in some small way by hopefully raising awareness. Every two minutes someone faces losing their home.
For more information please see england.shelter.org.uk/what_you_can_do/events_and_challen...
Shelter is a fantastic charity and have lots of other events and ways of raising awareness. england.shelter.org.uk/home

Arthritis Awareness is a cause very close to my heart, as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. For many years, I believed that arthritis mainly affected older people, and was the odd twinge in the joint. That was until my auntie had it at the age of 20- it's her hand on the right hand side. I started to understand then more about how a condition such as arthritis can have a profound impact upon your life.
Then it happened to me, aged 28 and I felt like my whole world as I knew it had ended, probably because it had. My life now is utterly different from my life before, and I have swung from being housebound, to being back at work, and now I am housebound once more and using a wheelchair.
You see, there is no cure all for arthritis, and it doesn't discriminate, young, old, tall, short, slim, fat, it's an equal opportunities destroyer. The great thing is that as we progress, we learn more about this condition and how best to treat it.
If you would like to understand more about arthritis and the effect that it can have, please read this post, it's a good starting point:

Arthritis can't kill you, but it can take your life.
World Arthritis Day has been celebrated 1996 by ARI (Arthritis Rheumatism International) first. It is being celebrated each year on October 12th.
Now, people with arthritis from around the world join together to make their voices heard on this day. You can join in and raise this voice also!
The aims of World Arthritis Day are:
To raise awareness of arthritis in all its forms among the medical community, people with arthritis and the general public
To influence public policy by making decision-makers aware of the burden of arthritis and the steps which can be taken to ease it
To ensure all people with arthritis and their caregivers are aware of the vast support network available to them.
