I saw this segment on The Today Show last week & have been completely moved by this man’s project for his wife ever since. The TuTu Project is a completely creative take on the pink ribbon, which has become synonymous with breast cancer awareness.  The images speak for themselves - Bob Carey travels the US and takes self portraits of himself wearing nothing but a pink tutu. On the homepage of their website, he notes that his wife’s diagnosis with breast cancer

“taught us that life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing — no, the only thing — we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others.”

He’s created a book titled Ballerina that is set to publish soon. I really can’t think of a better reason to spend $100! For more information about the project, visit their website, “Like” them on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

I had a pretty successful day at the CapTex Tri - can’t wait for the Couples Tri in July! Thank you all for your support & donations to The Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund. As of yesterday we had raised a whopping $7,090, completely shattering our original goal of $5,000.

Some thoughts on the race:

  • The Best: winning the swim part of my race
  • The Worst: the last 1/2 of the run
  • The Takeaway: I need to figure out a nutriton plan … I don’t eat anything during the bike/run and I have a feeling that once I figure that part out I’ll do much better!
  • The Random: Sharpie number tan lines are real. Under no circumstances will I ever forget my sunscreen on race day again - lesson learned.

Special thanks to the Felice family, 1-800-Oncologist who donated $.50 for every “Like” they received on Facebook, and to our compassionate & dedicated leader Ann Marie Francese. 

Thank you for your service - today & everyday. (Taken with Instagram at Long Center for the Performing Arts)
