introducing Pink Strength’s

We’re proud to introduce the Strength Journal — a guided journal created with love and intention to support breast cancer patients and survivors on their journey.

Inspired by our very own board member, Kat Tolentino, who crafted her own handmade journal to aid in recovery, this book offers a safe space for reflection, a guide for navigating the journey, and a companion to celebrate moments of healing and growth. With the insight of our trusted oncologist, each section provides practical tools, empowering prompts, artwork, and planning resources — all designed to meet real needs with care.

Beginning this Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Strength Journal will be included in our care packages, free for patients who need it most. This launch marks a milestone in our mission to Redefine Life with Cancer, ensuring no one walks this path alone.

We are deeply grateful to everyone whose generosity and wisdom brought this journal to life. We invite you to stand with us: share the Strength Journal, donate to our cause, and help extend hope, healing, and strength to even more patients.

At Pink Strength, we believe healing is more than treatment — it’s mindset, reflection, and community. The Strength Journal is designed to nurture all three, offering a space where patients can find strength and clarity on their journey.

During her recovery, Kat crafted a handmade journal to navigate the journey. Those final pages became the foundation for the Strength Journal. We are excited to bring it alive as a companion for patients walking their own path.

Every journey through cancer carries moments of bravery and moments of doubt. The Strength Journal was created to honor both, offering space to process challenges and celebrate progress. Its pages encourage honesty, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of agency. In every entry, it reminds patients that vulnerability does not weaken strength — it completes it.
