Recuperation journey: Walking with camera


This is Chargers Way - the driveway leading up to Ansonia High School. It looks so pretty this time of year.

Recuperation journey: Our Seymour Pink sign was delivered


Seymour Pink helped my family financially and emotionally when I was undergoing treatment for breast cancer in 2011. 
The nonprofit's mission is to unite a community against breast cancer by raising funds and awareness. 
Founded by the one and only Mary Deming - a retired Seymour High School teacher and Valley native - the organization holds a huge place in my heart. 
I was happy to see that my sign was delivered this morning and I had to take a photo.
I encourage people to order a sign and make a donation to Seymour Pink!

This post on the organization's Facebook page from March 18 unveiled the initiative:

"In trying, challenging times, we all look for ways to ease stress, to bring comfort and hope for a better day.
In an effort to join TOGETHER, even though we cannot gather together, Seymour Pink will be offering these complimentary lawn signs as a way for us to be united in our resolve, that TOGETHER we will get through these difficult and trying times!
EACH day brings us opportunities to come together in SPIRIT, to continue to be there for others by spreading HOPE and PROMISE that on the other side of this, we will be TOGETHER again, joining hands and hearts as one!

It is our hope that these lawn signs will bring all of us HOPE and PROMISE that TOGETHER we will get thru this more UNITED than ever.
Our lawn signs are FREE (however donations will be kindly accepted)
-First come, first serve
(delivery of signs will begin on or about this coming Wednesday April 1st)
-We will deliver to your front lawn- no contact
-LIMITED supply in our initial production
-If you live outside of the Lower Naugatuck Valley (Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, Seymour, Beacon Falls, Oxford) we will set up a pick up location with designated day and time-practicing ALWAYS our social distancing (details for pick up to follow)
Be safe, be healthy, we will get through this TOGETHER!
