Kate On Thin Ice is looking for 90 bloggers to write 90 words about an important woman in their life and join in her blog hop. You can link up here.

My mother in law. One of the most inspirational women in my life. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, the year before our wedding. A huge shock, but determined to beat the horrible illness that affects many other women. Chemotherapy, hair loss, and a mastectomy later, she came through the other side. She is now in remission but has to have check ups every now & then. A true fighter. A fighter who fought for her life and to meet the new life who is going to be appearing soon.

Pink Ribbon Bingo have pledged to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer all year round with 15% of the gross revenue accrued through online play on the site being donated to the charity. Visitors also have the opportunity to donate a percentage of their winnings directly to the charity. Along with the fundraising element, Pink Ribbon Bingo and The Daily Mail online will be helping the charity to raise awareness by promoting their vital health messages such as TLC (Touch, Look, Check).

Lovely to hear of a good mother in law relationship and that she is still here for you. A fighter indeed. Thanks so much for joining in my quest to spread the word about Breatkthrough and breast cancer awareness. Very much appreciated.
