Ralph Lauren Pink Pony - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We are quickly coming upon the autumnal month of October.  Also known as 'Breast Cancer Awareness Month'.  This is such a near and dear area of concern and topic for me.  Unfortunately, I have lost several friends and family members to breast cancer.  So much so, that I didn't want to wait until the official commencement of October, to ask... 

"Have you had your mammogram yet"???????

Happily, I was going through some files last week and fell upon a Pink Pony photo shoot a bunch of us did years ago.  Yes, YEARS ago.  If you look closely, you'll see Carson Kressley (formerly from 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy') in the second row (on the left) in the first collage.  

In the second collage you'll find me on the bottom row (second left), with my friend Donald Nowicki who is 'Uncle Ralphs' art curator for all the stores and his personal collections. 

Pink Pony is Ralph Lauren’s worldwide initiative in the fight against cancer. Our mission is to reduce disparities in cancer care in medically underserved communities and ensure that treatment is available at an earlier, more curable stage. In the United States, 10 percent of the purchase price of Pink Pony products benefits the Pink Pony Fund of the Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation to support programs for screening, early diagnosis, treatment, research and patient navigation. Internationally, a network of local charities benefits from the sales of Pink Pony products.

Ralph Lauren created the Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation, as a worldwide initiative to fight cancer.

Wherever you are in this world, wherever you live - "Have you had your mammogram yet"??????? I hope the answer is YES!

And if not, please schedule one today.  We need you!

Ride the Pink Pony - Ralph Lauren and Charitybuzz partner for Breast Cancer

Please support Ralph Lauren and CharityBuzz in the fund raising event of the year for Breast Cancer in Breast Cancer Awareness month. Bid on amazing opportunites to view Mr. Laurens private car collection, a weekend at his exclusive Round Hill home in Jamaica, previously owned by Babe Paley, meet LeBron Hames, classes to learn to walk the runway, a decorative visit from his home design team and countless other extravagant opportunities.

Seven plus wonderful years of my life were spent working for Ralph Lauren. And say with pride, each year the staff walked and worked diligently to support this cause. Mr. Lauren dedicates a great part of his life to breast cancer research.

This is not something, he simply 'lends his name to'. He is truly committed and request the same of his staff. Let the Pink Pony ride to victory! in the effort to fight Breast Cancer. I do so in the names of loved ones lost - Mimian Wu, Sharon Smith, Mrs. Hory, Mrs. Duggins, and to all those survivors - we love you and pray for your continued fight in the struggle.
