Our History
Breast Cancer is the Most Commonly Diagnosed Cancer Among Women Worldwide, Excluding Skin Cancer.
The story behind United in Pink is truly inspiring. It's remarkable how a grassroots fundraiser initiated by Sandy Union evolved into a central support network for breast cancer patients and their families in Central Georgia. Laura Paxton's personal experience witnessing her mother's battle with breast cancer and recognizing the impact it had on their family underscores the importance of providing comprehensive support beyond medical treatment.
United in Pink's emphasis on family, relationships, and community support reflects a deep understanding of the holistic nature of the challenges posed by a breast cancer diagnosis. By journeying alongside patients and their families, the organization not only offers practical assistance but also fosters a sense of belonging and solidarity during what can be an incredibly difficult time.
Celebrating 17 years of existence speaks volumes about the dedication and commitment of everyone involved in United in Pink's mission. It's a testament to the power of community and the resilience of those affected by breast cancer. Their ongoing work continues to make a positive difference in the lives of countless individuals and families facing the realities of breast cancer.
