I wrote my very first blog post for Black is the New Pink back on March
4, 2011. I wasn’t sure what type of
response, if any, I would receive. Ten
days later, I received my very first comment.
It read as follows:
Great post! I was diagnosed with
melanoma in Dec 2010 and knew little about it before then. Unfortunately, I had to learn a lot quickly
and was so saddened by what I read, especially about the disease in its later
stages. It’s a horrible cancer that
deserves more attention, funding, etc. I
am in Charlotte so keep me posted about any events going on in NC! I’m looking to become more involved in
melanoma awareness as well.

That comment was written by known other than Anne Bowman, current AIM
Charlotte Chapter President whose organization just pulled off another
successful AIM for a Cure Melanoma Walk.
Anne, I think well over 400 people and $60,000 in funds raised for
melanoma today says that your search for involvement has paid off enormously.
Congratulations!
That's awesome:) You write so beautifully:) Whenever, you post a new posting, I always read it right away:) I think I enjoy reading your postings because you share your thoughts that are so inspiring too me:) Donna Piunt
