Today is Frozen Pea Friday in honor of Susan Reynolds who recently found out she had breast cancer. She started a blog called Boobs on Ice to detail her battle of this experience and share it with others.

Now, I know a lot of you have probably seen the pea-themed avatars floating around on the internet and might have wondered what this was all about. Well, it was in honor of Susan, who as I type this is currently in surgery.

If you’d like to join the “PEAple“, feel free to change your avatar and also upload it to this flickr group.

Most importantly, be sure to check out the official frozen pea fund website to make a donation. All proceeds go directly to Making Strides. If you wish to donate directly, here’s the link.

I wish Susan the best of luck. This is a great cause and I hope that you’ll join in to support her. This is what social media is really all about. I’m extremely happy to be a part of this loving community of people and see the new ways everyone uses these various tools to help others.
