When you receive a diagnosis of cancer, and suddenly everything goes dark, pink seems like the farthest color in the rainbow. Bob Carey, the man in a pink tutu, colored his family\u2019s greyest hour with a humorous project that caught the world\u2019s attention. A project which became a breast cancer foundation fueled by laughter known today at The Tutu Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How The Tutu Project Began<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2003, his wife Linda was diagnosed with\nbreast cancer, and through his work as a photographer, they found a way to cope\n\u2013 and make some fun of \u2013 with what he felt. Bob\u2019s project started to spread,\nduring his wife\u2019s treatments where she would share the pictures on her phone\nwith other people around her, who in their toughest hour took a moment and laughed;\nuntil it became viral and his poses and landscapes ran \u2013 or rather, <em>Grande\nJet\u00e9\u2019ed<\/em> \u2013 &nbsp;all over the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetutuproject.com\/project\/jump-coronado-island-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/breast-cancer-awareness-the-tutu-project-coronado-island-1.jpg\" alt=\"Jump.

Coronado Island, California<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by Linda\u2019s bravery and spirit, and\nas her quest to beat cancer became successful, the Tutu Project expanded its\nmessage and further \u2013 its mission: \u201cto raise funds for women, men, and their\nfamilies to ease the financial burdens that come with breast cancer diagnoses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But life\u2019s not all pink, and Linda\u2019s cancer\ncame back in 2006. Through yet another challenge, spreading awareness and being\nable to lift people up who are going through similar experiences made them find\nbeauty in life and appreciate what was given \u2013 surely something one does not\nassociate with cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Carey Breast Cancer Foundation &amp; <\/strong><em><strong>Ballerina<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the creation of the Carey Foundation, and the publication of Ballerina, an amazing book that compiles the self-portraits in the famous pink tutu, Bob and Linda created a powerful network that connects the people they want to help to the people who want to help them \u2013 welcoming and cultivating the participation of other organizations who share their vision. They work to provide not only financial aid, especially when insurance coverage falls short but also tackling many aspects of the challenges faced, such as transportation, childcare, and counseling. What is more important: making these families feel like they are not alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetutuproject.com\/project\/snow-brooklyn-new-york-2003\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/breast-cancer-awareness-the-tutu-project-brooklyn-snow-4.jpg\" alt=\" Snow.

What had started as an escape to express surprise, confusion, and vulnerability, quickly became a powerful vehicle to raise awareness and helping other families who are going through the same situation. And that is what makes this project so special \u2013 it is not simply a place where families can turn to for financial support, but also share and of course, a laugh or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetutuproject.com\/project\/l-train-brooklyn-new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Tutu-Project-Breast-Cancer-Awareness-L-Train-Brooklyn-1.jpg\" alt=\"L Train.
