This year’s LIVESTRONG Day has brought out the creative side in folks. We want to highlight people that have come up with some really great “out of the box” events. Take a look at these for inspiration and put your own event on the map today!

Barbara Harris and A Taste of Yellow

Bloggers are encouraged to share their cancer experiences in the post. A round up of all the entries is posted on Barbara’s blog on the 2nd.
