No one travels this road alone. Along with a large pink ribbon, that motto is plastered on the side of three white minivans you might have noticed driving around Greater Cincinnati.
Those vehicles are on a mission: to ease the journey for those battling breast and gynecological cancer through free transportation to and from treatments.
Pink Ribbon Good is the nonprofit driving the effort . Founded in Cincinnati, it’s now expanded nationwide, offering care and support to thousands of women who need it.
“I think when something like Pink Ribbon Good’s vehicle shows up, I think they have a sense of comfort,” Cincinnati regional Director Julie Miller said. “They know that they are going to be safe on the way to an appointment that they might have some anxiousness about or might be dreading, but they just have a loving, calming environment as they go there.”
The organization is entirely run and operated by women, most of whom have their own cancer stories to tell. That’s true for the Cincinnati transportation team. All three women are breast cancer survivors who chose to take their journeys and pay them forward.
