Pink Strokes is dedicated to making a difference today for the daughters of tomorrow.

I met Allison Roberts at one of the Young Survival Coalition conferences. I learned of her website called Pink Strokes. Pink Strokes is a non-profit organization that seeks to raise awareness and assist in providing information and support to young women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Allison was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2002 at 32 years old. She was delayed diagnoses and was told that she had lumpy breast tissue, that she was too young and that cancer didn't hurt. Allison had been having pain in her breast and eventually noticed a lump under her armpit. She did as I did and trusted her doctors when they said it was nothing to worry about.

Allison was diagnosed with a 3cm tumor in the breast and positive lymph nodes. She needed chemotherapy and radiation for her aggressive cancer.

Allison says "It really became obvious to me that I wanted to do more when my husband signed up to walk in The Weekend to End Breast Cancer, a 60 km. walk through Toronto streets". That next year Allison walked herself with a team called Ali's Alliance of Angels and raised over twelve thousand dollars.

Together they organized their first golf tournament to raise money for the walk called Pink Strokes.

Allison's son Tyler asked his mom, "Mommy is breast cancer over yet"? Allison told him "Someday breast cancer will be over"!
