Keep The Faith: Bloggers Support
by Blogger Tia Walker on 4/14/2008 at 2:38 pm in Supporters - Friends & FamilyHi!
It's been a few weeks now since I sent out my "official" announcement to THE WORLD that I had Breast Cancer. I am happy to report that while not everyone was dying to support me via spreading the word, my greatest form of media support has came from fellow bloggers.
On, April 3rd in Breast Cancer Touches the Fashion Blogosphere, Lesley Scott Founder of Fashion Tribes and former tres chic Fashion Stylist alerted her readers of my condition. Lesley's own mother lost her life to Breast Cancer several years ago, so this announcement and support was even more valuable to me than you might imagine. I recalled my first official meeting with Lesley where she proudly mentioned how her now booming Fashion Blog, a true cornucopia of Fashion info began. It was a vision that was realized with her mother in mind and from the funds she had left over after he passing, very inspiring.

On, April 8th Washington DC based Autumn Colbert, the creative voice behind BMore Baplife, also lent her support, by mentioning a bit about my illness in her post Fellow BAP*** Raising Awareness: Tia Walker. Autumn acknowledged me for my strength and commitment to the cause of Breast Cancer. This is a very big deal. Upon perusing Ms. Colbert's blog roll, one can determine she doesn't just include ANYBODY in on her reporting etc... this was a very encouraging effort. Please visit Autumn Colbert's BMore Baplife at www.bmorebaplife.blogspot.com
There were others who wrote to me and told me things would be OK and that I would get through this, and I heart those efforts as well. There's still a long way to go but at least I know I have the strength and love from a few of the best.
Ciao!
***-in this case BAP refers to Black American Princess...tee hee!
