Today our pink shirt picture for the Lincoln Daily News Paint the Paper Pink campaign features staff at the Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois in Lincoln. This is a group of people who understand that times are tough for a lot of people, and sometimes folks need a little help to get through that tough time.

When you are diagnosed with cancer, your “routine” is going to go out the window. Nothing will be normal during your battle. The things you did at work and at home are going to become a struggle to get through. But, you will find you have people in your corner who want to help you through this tough time. Let them. They do it not out of pity but out of love and they want to help. They need to help and you need them.

Don’t battle cancer alone and just know that all of us are pulling for you and want you to succeed..
