The Tutu Project: Breast Cancer Awareness

Posted by Jessie on Mar 22, 2012 in GOOD CAUSES, PHOTOGRAPHY

In 2003, Bob Carey decided to throw on a pink Tutu and travel to various beautiful places in the world and take self-portraits on these landscapes; ranging from the American national parks like the Grand Canyon, cities, the open fields on the country side and deserts. During his tutu journey, Carey received devastating news that his wife is once again diagnosed with breast cancer, resurfacing for the second time. Through their experiences dealing with cancer it strengthened their relationship despite the many difficult challenges they faced along the way. Carey is seeking to raise $75,000 through this Tutu project for the purpose of breast cancer research. By donating $500 to the cause, you will receive a 20”x24” signed print photo of your choice. This brave man inspires us to step outside of our comfort zone and put our “tutus” on; after all, we have one life to live so make the most of it.
