Those Gracefully Fighting It.
Founder’s Message :
PINKDAYSTOSHINE will be taking a short pause this year.
My heartfelt thanks to all the brave Breast Cancer Warriors who came forward to share their powerful stories of hope and resilience, and to the compassionate brands and partners whose unwavering support has kept this initiative shining bright through the years.
Awareness is the first step toward beating breast cancer. Share this page with a friend who may need a gentle reminder for a self-examination or screening — because early detection can save lives.”
ABOUT #PINKDAYTOSHINE
Founded by Nithya Rajkumar in 2018, PINKDAYTOSHINE celebrates and honors the brave survivors & those gracefully fighting Breast Cancer.
As a Breast Cancer Awareness photography project PINKDAYTOSHINE captures and shares stories and portraits of hope, positivity and resilience.
Taking place every OCTOBER 26th, PINKDAYTOSHINE is a casual get-together bringing together the brave survivors and those are currently fighting Breast Cancer.
It is a day to connect and celebrate the journey and the beauty of these individuals and their own personal stories.
Every year 10 Breast Cancer Warriors enjoy a special portrait photoshoot by Nithya Rajkumar Photography, inclusive of professional make up artistry and gifts from compassionate brands who together join the #PINKDAYTOSHINE cause. While gifting the ladies lovely portraits and a memorable day lifting their spirits up , this project shares their personal message to inspire others living alongside breast cancer.
"Each of these women I have connected with via #PINKDAYTOSHINE have fought through some toughest situations, yet risen like a Phoenix and embraced their lives to the full. My photography project aims to capture images that bring out the inner light & positivity of these brave warriors of Breast Cancer, for the world to see & be inspired by. It is a day for them to truly SHINE!
It takes a lot of courage to come forward and share the most vulnerable days of your life and share your personal story. Each of these women come forward to give hope to someone who is currently coping with breast cancer. #PINKDAYTOSHINE has been a truly humbling experience as a photographer.
No matter how tough the situations have been, these women didn't let cancer write their story. I hope these portraits and stories will inspire positive thoughts in those who are battling breast cancer and bring awareness to others about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. "
