As the festive season of 2011 closes in on us and the year is drawing to a close I once again realize that this time is probably the hardest for the people that have lost loved ones and have an empty space in their heart during this period.

Even though there might be an empty space in your life you will always carry the memories of them in your heart and these memories must serve to bring a smile on your face and enable you to enjoy life to the fullest. For the people still struggling with the big fight or for the courageous survivors I have the following:
“The survival of the fittest is the ageless law of nature, but the fittest are rarely the strongest. The fittest are those endowed with the qualifications for adaptation, the ability to accept the inevitable and conform to the unavoidable, to harmonize with existing or changing conditions.
“Anonymous”

You have the power within you and with the love of God to get through this struggle as well. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everybody involved with Pink Chicks, from donors and sponsors to family and friends for the support provided to this Foundation. Without your support Pink Chicks cannot continue nor achieve our vision of giving hope and saving lives of those living with cancer.
If you are going away for this holiday, travel safely and even if you are staying at home enjoy this precious time with your loved ones. Use this time to build new and loving memories.

On behalf of Pink Chicks I would like to wish you a very safe and Happy Festive Season. See you in the New Year!
