Since October 2007, the GCC has supported the "Pink Ribbon Jersey," designed by member and breast cancer survivor Barb Thomas. From the time of the jersey's debut at the GCC's cycling festival that year, cyclists in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Israel, the UK, and all over the U.S. have purchased the copyrighted jersey, helping to raise $13,000 for breast cancer research.........
The design has been updated from the original design, but both are still available, in women's and men's short sleeved and sleeveless jerseys, as well as singlets (prefered by some runners and walkers) and matching gloves. Men's jerseys are a relaxed cut; women's are pro-fit (and run about one size small).
100% of net proceeds are donated to the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation to be used in research and in its "direct services" program, which "aids in providing low-income, uninsured women with screenings and treatment."
All styles and prices can be viewed at www.pinkribbonjersey.com
Please email me directly at bnbbarb@gmail.com to make sure the size, style and design you'd like are currently available from inventory on hand.
Help support the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation's efforts by getting a jersey or singlet for yourself, a family member, friend or co-worker........to wear during October, breast cancer awareness month, at one of the many rides, runs and walks. We've all been affected one way or the other by breast cancer, and it will take an army to defeat the enemy.
