“There’s nothing better than recycling a designer dress especially when you can get it at a great price, and you’re helping a local family dealing with a family member with breast cancer...it’s a win-win situation.” said Leslie Moore, cancer survivor and creator of Warriors Wear Pink MoBo, “When we did this last September, we were very pleased with the turnout, not just from the shoppers but from breast cancer survivors and those still in their fight. It’s about coming together and supporting each other as warriors. And we can all do it fashionably and inexpensively.”

ABOUT WARRIORS WEAR PINK
Leslie Moore |
The brainchild of Lowcountry native and celebrity makeup artist Leslie Moore, Warriors Wear Pink was born during Moore's darkest time of her life. "On June 1, 2009 at the age of 36, I was diagnosed with Stage Three Breast Cancer. I wrote about my journey as a Warrior in my first blog- Warriors Wear Pink. It was my very personal, un-sugar coated, RAW experience throughout my year of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and post treatment. Even though it was one tough year, I am tougher and consider myself more blessed than burdened. I made a promise that for every blessing my family and I received, I would plant a seed to pay it forward. It has become my life's mission to help other's in need, in any way I can." This mom of two now champions herself as a Warrior Wearing Pink on a mission to raise awareness about the loneliness that breast cancer patients feel and to make sure that no other warrior walks the path of breast cancer alone. The assistance has no definition, from offering rides to sitting with women when they receive the diagnosis to purchasing groceries--it's just about helping patients in their time of need. Moore is the daughter of local television meteorologist Tom Crawford, and there is no history of breast cancer in her family.
