The 2010 Breast Impressions Survivor Wall Calendar is now on sale at www.BreastImpressionsCalendar.com.  This year's calendar features thirteen breast cancer survivors from Oklahoma, including a daughter age 20 and her mother age 47 who are going through treatment at the same time.  Seven of the survivors in this year's calendar were diagnosed under the age of 40.  The stories of each woman are shared on the monthly calendar page, where a pink ribbon appears on the 20^th of each month to remind you to do your self breast exam!  The photos are in black and white with a special pink item that captures the calendar girl's attitude about life!

 

The proceeds from the calendar are used by Breast Impressions to purchase the materials for their donated breast casting kits.  These kits are donated free of charge to any woman who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and wishes to make a memory prior to her breast surgery.  Over 200 kits have been donated over the last two years to these women not only across the United States but also to Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada.  Many share their finished breast cast photographs and stories of how working on their cast has helped them overcome the loss of their breast, and move forward into a healthy attitude.  Many see decorating the cast as a way to mentally heal from their scars and pain.
