Bra-Vo Art Walk 2013

They didn't have a "currently kicking butt" sash, so they gave me a "Survivor" one.

On Saturday, October 5th, I participated in the Bra-Vo Art Walk. Myself, as well as other breast cancer survivors, family members and caregivers expressed their courage, strength and hope over the past few months using a bra as their canvas. These bras were then "purchased" and displayed in various businesses in Uptown Whittier to support breast cancer survivors, increase awareness of breast cancer and raise funds for the PIH Health Patricia L. Scheifly Breast Health Center.  Saturday was the kick-off to the month long art show for Breast Cancer Awareness.

My bra, "With Brave Wings She Flies", is on display at Pour Le Bain (that's me with the owner, Marilin Brinegar).  My friend Christine's bra, "Pink Cupcake" (which she dedicated to me!) is on display at Mozart the Salon.

Goodies at Village Sweets!

More bras on display!

Bras will be on display all month long, so go check them out! You can find a map of all the locations here: Uptown Whittier Association.

Day 116 - Got all artsy-fartsy with Christine Rose Elle at the Bra-Vo Art Bra Workshop!

Today I went to a Bra-Vo Art Bra Workshop.  It's a workshop where breast cancer survivors and champions get together to share their stories trough creating beautiful works of art with bras. The bras will be on display in various locations throughout Uptown Whittier during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) to increase breast cancer awareness and support the PIH Health Patricia L. Scheifly Breast Health Center.

My bra was inspired by this photo Christine had taken of me and by Isaiah 40:31,

 

"but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.".
