Has Someone With Breast Cancer Inspired You?

Nearly one year ago, we created a second website that has been named When Breast Cancer Happens. The original intention was to provide daily updates of information from the breast cancer world and to share resource information. However, as time passed, I requested that a very special feature be created that has been titled The Wall of Inspiration. Please let me explain.

Each person who has had breast cancer has a story. Each story is as individual as the fingerprints of that person and we have been motivated by so many of those who have shared their stories with us. I have been struck by so many of these stories on a personal basis as I know many other people also have been. But, there was an aspect of inspiration that I have found to be missing that has had the greatest impact on me and that is the stories of those who I personally know with breast cancer that have influenced my life in ways that I could never have imagined.

I know that so many of the people that you know have dealt with that cancer in a way that has inspired you with regard to how they have handled this journey and I would love for you to share your stories. I can’t think of a better way to honor that special person than to tell your story of how that breast cancer patient has made a positive difference in your life.Barbara Jacoby

My goal is to honor those who have dealt with breast cancer in a way that has inspired others. Just about every person that I know has had a spouse, parent, relative, friend and/or associate who has dealt breast cancer. I know that so many of the people that you know have dealt with that cancer in a way that has inspired you with regard to how they have handled this journey and I would love for you to share your stories. I can’t think of a better way to honor that special person than to tell your story of how that breast cancer patient has made a positive difference in your life.

The process is easy. Just send me an email in which you tell your story or to which you have attached a document that provides the information that you wish to share. You may attach up to 3 photos that you would like to have included with the posting. We will do everything possible to get the posting up on the Wall of Inspiration as soon as possible so that we can not only share your story with others but also so you can let that special person know how you have chosen to honor them. If you would like to visit the Wall of Inspiration as it currently appears, just click here to view those submissions that have already been received and posted.

It is my hope and wish that “The Wall” will soon be covered with tons of stories that have honored those whose journeys have made a difference to someone else. Please feel free to submit as many stories as you wish as you may know more than one person who should be honored for the inspiration that they have provided to others. And if you need any help or guidance with your submission, you can email me at the same address with your questions and inquiries. In this way we can not only honor your special people but we can also help others who will also be inspired by these stories.
