AD "I think it's a big deal to say you've raised even $100 for anything, so the fact that people have given so much to Ticked Pink is a true testament."—JODI FYFE continued from page 58 23 to reduce her risk of breast cancer] for a few years, and I fell in love with her and her mission. Cancer affects everyone in some way, shape, or form, whether it's you personally, your best friend, your husband's family, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, or your coworker. This year is going to be Tickled Pink's ninth anniversary. I have at least 200 people who have come back year after year since the first one; it's a great event to go to and just have a blast. Everybody who's participated in Tickled Pink over the years has been so passionate and dedicated, and one thing that's unique about it is that we've made such a great amount of money doing something What: Tickled Pink ancillary out of the goodness of our hearts.

Carrie loved life, and no matter what obstacles she faced or what anybody told her, she lived each day to the fullest. I never understood it, and maybe I was going through life too fast. When I think about it now, I'm like, 'Wow, this is what she knew.' You've got to take each day, live it the best that you can, and appreciate everything you have."
