The Reed family and the Randall Reed Planet Ford team in Humble, Texas believe it’s crucial to support our community and causes. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease that affects so many that we care about. Ford also has an ongoing mission called Ford Warriors in Pink. Ford Motor Co. has been active in fighting against breast cancer since 1993.

By continually asking, “what more can we do?” Ford Warriors in Pink has become an active, inspiring support system for many who are affected by the disease.
Because breast cancer is relentless, Warriors in Pink is relentless – dedicated to fueling the spirit of those living with the disease 365 days a year. We help by taking a number of actions to make an impact in the fight against breast cancer.
Models of Courage

Ford Warriors in Pink is showing its dedication to everyone touched by breast cancer by creating an army of warriors in select cities across the country. They’re called Models of Courage (MOCs). And they are patients, survivors, thrivers and co-survivors ready to help us empower those currently in the fight.
The Models of Courage are activist that help bring #moregooddays. As patients or survivors of breast cancer, they rely on their good days to get them through the tough days. Ford Warriors in Pink invites people to join their movement in giving #moregooddays.

Ford Warriors in Pink has numerous tips and ways for you to participate in helping a patient receive a good day.
The Models of Courage bring you their top five ways to create a good day:
Laugh yourself silly – laughter is a part of happiness in life. Send silly cards, tell or ask funny jokes, find or give the kind of content that makes you laugh.
Turn Treatments into something more – Plan themed chemo treatments with hats, snacks and silly gags.
Organize a Meal Train – Be a self-starter by creating one for a patient, ask for help, it’ll help organize your supporters to help provide meals and more in a true time of need.
Share and share alike – Tell or ask to hear positive stories about people who have been in a similar place in their lives. Buy or bring magazines that you can chat about, laugh at or pass along later. Create a playlist for yourself or someone else.
Get moving – Get up, get out and go for a walk – together. Sway to the rhythm of an upbeat song. Fly a kite. Or ask someone to go with you on a windy day and watch it dance in the wind.
