For G-G and Other Breast Cancer Survivors With Love

Owen and I met Tracy and Samantha for dinner tonight. While sitting at Ruby Tuesdays in Summerville, we noticed a pink fire truck pull in pulling a large breast cancer awareness ribbon. The truck was followed by a large group of bikers wearing pink shirts and black and pink shirts. According to the Post and Courier, "The Pink Ribbon Tour, a national awareness effort in the fight against breast cancer, has scheduled to make stops in Summerville and the surrounding area on Sept. 9-10.
The tour is provided by the Guardians of the Ribbon, a group of Arizona firefighters, police officers and community leaders. They drive around the country in a pink fire truck, wearing pink turnout gear and helmets to promote awareness of the fight against breast cancer.
Organizers are encouraging anyone who has been affected by the disease to come to any of the local stops and sign the fire truck." So, we did. Owen and I wrote his G-G's (Grandma Deborah) name on the truck. It was an amazing sight! I had to take pictures of it and share.

Here is Owen next to G-G's name (there is an "h" at the end of Deborah, it just didn't show up in the picture)
Owen and Samantha--This is the best picture, it was so hard to try to get them both to look at the camera at the same time.
Owen decided to strike a pose! Below is a picture of the pink fire truck.
