Tributes to our BFF, Previvors, Survivors, Fighters, and Angels
Our hearts were full with the support and tributes we received for the 2011 M.O.R.E Powder Puff! It took over 5 hours to write all of the names of the women we were driving for on our truck. I had to take a break a few times, it was just so heart breaking to see the names of my friends and their loved ones, knowing the challenges each of these women have faced and will continue to face.
I wanted to make sure that each name was mentioned here on our site, and photos of every name will follow. Thank you all for being a part of our adventure. Team Courage would not exist without the Courage and Strength of you all!
Here’s a slideshow of the tributes, click on a photo to enlarge it. It will advance automatically, or you can click “next” below the images.
