Vicki Tashman, breast cancer survivor and founder of Pink-Link, was named "Health Hero" in the July 2008 issue of Prevention Magazine. "It's an incredible honor," says Ms. Tashman, who founded Pink-Link in 2005, "and it happens to coincide with the anticipated 2,000 registered member, which should happen in July! We are all thrilled!"
According to their Web site, Pink-Link is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower women in obtaining a healthy survivorship of breast cancer. They provide an online support service for women; their Web site creates an intimate and personal link among the patient, survivor, friends and family, using an online searchable database, as well as other supportive services. The resulting connections give women the knowledge needed to promote life and enhance the quality of living with breast cancer.
Currently, Pink-Link has over 1,900 members represented in all 50 states and worldwide. To read the article, either purchase the July issue of Prevention Magazine or click here.
