Did You Know? Latest in Breast Cancer News

BREAST CANCER PATIENTS NOT EXERCISING ENOUGH

We all hear that we should exercise more because it's good for our health. But did you know that many women with breast cancer are missing out on this vital component for maximizing their health?

According to a new study that was featured in HealthDay News, women who are diagnosed with breast cancer are less likely to meet exercise recommendations that have linked physical activity with longer survival and better quality of life. 

U.S. guidelines call for adults getting at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise (think fast walking) or 75 minutes of rigorous exercise (think spin class or Zumba). But only 35 percent of the women treated for breast cancer in the study met those recommendations after diagnosis. 

When breaking the results down by race, African American women were 40 percent less likely than Caucasian women to meet the physical activity guidelines after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis.

Anything for love ... from Albert Bredenhann on Vimeo.

We're closing out March and the last few weeks of National Women's History month. And The Pink Event staff is pretty sure the women in this video will always be remembered by their friend who has breast cancer. 

According to the video above, "In February 2014, one of Gerdi McKenna's friends wrote an email requesting a photoshoot for all her friends as [Gerdi] was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months before...and this is what happened."

You have to see it to believe how amazing women with purpose can be! And check out the local breast cancer charities that The Pink Event has supported. 

RECAP: The Pink Event® 2014 Breaks Records!

Attendees enjoy the ultimate girls' day out! 

The Pink Event^® 2014 last Sunday broke records when it turned the atrium and ballrooms of the DoubleTree by Hilton in Columbia, Md., into the “ultimate girls’ day out.”

With more than 260 attendees and 50 women-focused exhibitors—who sold everything from handmade jewelry and figurines to high-quality kitchen wares and organic hair products—the women’s expo achieved its goal of celebrating women-owned businesses, encouraging empowerment, and promoting breast cancer awareness.
