Jan, who was on the breast cancer walk, got to carry one of the pink banners because she is a cancer survivor. Jan owns one of the consignment shops that I visit regularly and where I photographed my July Red Theme Day photograph. Despite being a good-sized town, St Paul is really St. Small when it comes to knowing one another. I feel privileged to know Jan--another one of my courageous women friends. Please click here to see some more photographs I took of women involved in the walk I observed last Sunday.

Yes, she sure has earned the moniker of Brave Jan.
ReplyDeleteI agree that these are courageous women. I don't think anyone could go through that battle and not come out stronger and more courageous on the other end.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Glad to see your friend doing well and beating the big C.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to know that a large city can be "small" in terms of being people-friendly.
ReplyDeleteBeau portrait et beau combat. il faut beaucoup de force pour se battre contre "Le Crabe" (surnom en France du cancer)

She looks like a very determined woman!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great picture of Jan. Its so wonderful that there are more and more survivors all the time.
ReplyDeleteCancer is a demon and Jan an angel. My wife is a cancer survivor too. Breast cancer twice.
ReplyDeleteA lot of courage is needed, but more and more fights are won! Unfortunately not yet all.
ReplyDeleteBravo for Jan and all these brave women. Also, bravo to Saint Paul for being Saint Small. Knowing one-another is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteMy admiration and love to Jan and all the cancer survivors!
ReplyDelete(I participated in one of those walks once. The indominable spirit of the survivors was palpable!)
Lovely shot - your friend looks like a real hero.
