‘Pink Sisters’ continues its breast cancer awareness mission [Video]

VERSAILLES, Ky. (LEX 18) — It’s the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but Pink Sisters, an organization based in Versailles, is keeping its mission going. It all started in 2020 after Catherine Anderson’s diagnosis.

Catherine explains, “I was 36. I’d just turned 36. So not even recommended for the mammogram. Went in there to play it safe, but then through the screening was told that ‘we need to do further screening’ and ultimately a biopsy.”

Catherine says her daughter saw how much the community rallied around her mom. She wanted to start something that would support other people that way.

She says, “Because truly it means more I guess and you are relatable to those that have gone through it.”

Those stories have highlighted downtown Versailles, in pink.

This year Pink Sisters was able to put up 45 flags and each side has a different woman’s story on it.
