Tomorrow is the big day! There’s still time to sign up for the Thunderclap–if you already have, please ask your friends to join in!
We cannot say we’ve exactly “enjoyed” reading all the tweets/stories that ARE your personal realities. Because, well, it sucks that any of us had cancer, it sucks we have to do this reality check to counter all the fairy tale stuff out there. But there is a lot of clever humor in some of your tweets. But most importantly, these tweets and stories remind us all that we are not alone.
That said, we cannot say that we exactly “look forward” to all your tweets during the hour-long tweets storm (10amPDT/1:00pmEDT/6:00pmBST), but we look forward to all the witty, funny, sometimes sad, community-building that will take place.
A Few Tips for Tomorrow:
While we all strive to get #BreastCancerRealityCheck THE trending hashtag for the hour (10amPDT/1:00pmEDT/6:00pmBST), we encourage everyone to use ONLY #BreastCancerRealityCheck in the tweets. Hashtags such as BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, ThinkPink, PinkIsNotACure are pretty well used!
Not going to be near social media at the appointed hour tomorrow? No sweat! Use Tweet Deck or some other dashboard application management tool and schedule tweets ahead!
Be real, be you. A reality check is about informing others what having this disease is REALLY like. We know some businesses will (again) see the hashtag and use it to shill pizza or something (yes, that happened). But that is not what this is about. Move beyond the dominate narrative, the crass cause marketing. Above all BE REAL.
See you tomorrow!

Oh man I had to learn to do it last year–I use Tweet Deck, I never could get the hang of the other ones! Thank YOU for all your supporting this week, and always!
