Pink Ribbon Review BCAM Giveaway: Day Twenty One

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m giving away a pink ribbon product every single day during the month of October.
Today, October 21, is day TWENTY ONE of the Pink Ribbon Review Breast Cancer Awareness Month Giveaway and I’m giving away a copy of the book by Jerry White, I Will Not Be Broken: 5 Steps to Overcoming a Life Crisis
Jerry White, is a recognized leader of the historic International Campaign to Ban Landmines, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace, and co-founder of Survivor Corps (formerly Landmine Survivors Network). In 1984, Jerry lost his leg—and almost his life—in a landmine accident. He has endured the pain of loss and the challenge of rebuilding. As co-founder of Survivor Corps, Jerry has interviewed thousands of victims of tragedy. With this book, he shares what he—and they—have learned.
“This book illuminates the path to survival —- five steps that can guide a person from tragedy toward a new life of renewed purpose and hope. The steps are not always sequential; they can be taken simultaneously. They can also spiral, skip and repeat. Survivorship is different for each individual. But anyone who has overcome adversity and learned to thrive has come to understand the power of each step.”
So what are the five steps?
- Face Facts
- Choose Life
- Reach Out
- Get Moving
- Give Back
You’ll have to read the book to see how they all come together — and come back here and let us know how they can influence the lives of breast cancer survivors (I haven’t yet read this one).
Remember to follow the Pink Ribbon Review BCAM giveaway rules and leave an appropriate comment on this post before midnight EST to qualify to win.
Good luck!
