Thanks to Skechers for sponsoring today’s discussion on this very important topic.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

There is pink everywhere. When I see all this pink I don’t necessarily think of breast cancer. Instead I think of my grandma Lily. I lost by amazing grandma to breast cancer. It’s actually hard for me to even type this even after all these years. I think it’s important to keep awareness going about this horrible disease, but even more important to help end breast cancer. I am so happy that I found a company like Skechers that feels the same way and is helping to end breast cancer with a special new collection of footwear.

I love everything about these walking shoes.

Even the box made me happy! I feel like when I wear them I’m telling others that lost a loved one like I did or who have battled or continue to battle breast cancer that they are not alone. We are all in this together and we all want a cure right now. I’m proud to walk and run {depending on the day, just keeping it real} in Skechers shoes because I want to end breast cancer forever.

Having a great shoe motivates my daily healthy living practice.

Skechers shoes fulfill my must-haves for supportive and comfortable footwear. Plus I love the style and way they look! I was so excited for my new Skechers GOwalk 2 Flash – Awareness shoes to arrive! They are the lightest shoes I’ve ever worn and the the cushion is amazing.

  • What a wonderful cause. And sorry for your loss. I still miss my grandma even though it has been 7 years since she passed away. I still do miss her. Anyway, it is nice to know that such company like Skechers is here to support the Breast Cancer awareness. That is wonderful! And I love those shoes. I could surely use a good pair of new shoes since I workout a lot. And love that it is for a good cause as well. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

  • Skechers is one brand of shoes that is durable. I have one pair. I need to buy a new one. I like this style and also perfect to help for the Breast Cancer Association. The shoes is so pretty in pink.

  • I have been hearing amazing things about the Go Walk shoes! I am loving the pink and grey! So awesome they are showing such support too!

  • I never really got into Sketchers….they were huge back when I was a kid and Britney Spears got on board with the brand but they kind of just went by the wayside. Now, looking at this post, I’m wondering why the heck that is! The shoes are comfy, they look great…and these ones are supporting a good cause too.

  • Great post, great cause, and may your beautiful grandmother continue to rest in peace! Thanks for sharing your story. It’s been lovely reading everyones posts.
