Hey there, Boot Scootin' Bo***es! As you know, we originated in 2008 as a team that raises funds for the Breast Cancer community. However, November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month (white or pearl ribbon) and we would like for everybody to take a picture and Show Us Your Pearls! Coming off a winning Braves season, I know ALL of you have pearls now. Let's see them!
Be sure to Like and Follow Show us your Pearls as we all learn more about Lung Cancer. Thank you!

Thanks to the Braves for kicking off this VERY grassroots effort to bring more awareness, conversation and focus to lung cancer! Ok...maybe not, but now I am able to grab onto the coat tails of the Braves win!
So, as you pearl up for the Braves, I ask that you also pearl up for Lung Cancer Awareness!
Everyone knows that PINK is the color for OCTOBER and the ribbons wave brightly and proudly to show support and create awareness for breast cancer. But, did you know that white (or pearl) is the color of the ribbon for Lung Cancer and November?
There are some very startling statistics relating to lung cancer with very little money being used for research and awareness.
For the month of November, I will be sharing some stats and hopefully generating some awareness of this dreadful disease. If there is enough noise, maybe research efforts will improve.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
1. I ask that you take a photo of yourself in pearls (or use one you
have already posted for the Braves) and include the picture
below.
If you can also add a little blurb to the post that reads:
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month! Please help us
make some noise and bring more awareness to lung cancer! It
is time that more effort and more money is spent researching
this cancer, which makes up for 23% of all cancer deaths in
men and women.
Please tag Show us your Pearls page or Miranda Allen when
you post.
2. I know I have friends who know celebrities or people with a lot more influence than me. If you can tag them, ask them, beg them....whatever... to post their picture with some words, I would be grateful. As we know, the more visibility, the better!!
