I have three new reasons to love lucy.
FIRST: 
lucy activewear is donating 10% of their sales from their fabulous new Freesia lucy Flip Straw Water Bottle to the Young Survival Coalition.
Young Survival Coalition was founded in 1998 by three breast cancer survivors under the age of 35 who were discouraged by the lack of information and resources available to young women. They are now an international organization dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women and breast cancer.
SECOND:
They have a really cute Pink Collection. Which will make creating my Christmas wish list a breeze!
THIRD:
They are giving one lucky Fitness & Spice reader this amazing new lucy Breakaway Jacket in…wait for it…PINK!
To enter the drawing I’m going to ask you to do 3 things:
- Tell at least one person about how they can support the Young Survival Coalition
- Commit to giving 110% during your workouts this week
- Tell us in the comments section below WHAT TICKLES YOU PINK!
Enter the drawing by the stroke of midnight Tuesday, October 20th and check back in on Wednesday, October 21st to see if you will be pretty in pink!

October 19th 2009I’m in too! I feel like today’s my lucky day!
Seeing 4 of my co workers who are breast cancer survivors wear something that has pink in it since the beginning of this month and the big smile on their faces.. tickles me pink.
I’ll also go 110% this week while dreaming about the pink jacket!
Diane Fit to the Finish says:
October 19th 2009Color me pink – I’m in!
What tickles me pink? Seeing my family members and friends I know work diligently for causes that aren’t personally affecting their lives right now. That makes me proud and inspired.
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says:
October 19th 2009I LOVE LUCY TOO!!! Their stuff is so comfy, and i love that they’re always donating to great causes!
Jess (Fit Chick in the City) says:
October 19th 2009You had me at PINK!
What tickles me pink? Watching other people spill their hearts out while running a race, whether its a 5k or a marathon I get all teary eyed watching people work hard and giving it their all. Now, what tops that? Seeing someone from the achilles track club here in NYC leading a blind or disabled person running a race.
Carrie Sola says:
October 19th 2009Spending time with people who are committed to their goals tickles me pink. I promise to commit 110% to my workouts this week. I need the push after reaching my goal this past weekend. Thanks for making me accountable this week!
Carol Martzinek says:
October 19th 2009What tickles me pink is all of the support and encouragement I’ve been receiving from my Team in Training coaches, mentors and fellow team members (which include some amazing survivors!) as I train to walk my first marathon. I’m accomplishing things I never knew I could do!
Erin Brooks says:
October 19th 2009Tickle me pink hmmm what tickles me pink…
Sharing some baked goods with a neighbor.
Seeing my husband after he comes home from work.
Watching my kitties being crazy and doing silly things.
Rachel says:
October 19th 2009You’re such a do-gooder this month and I love it! :)
I would LOVE to win this jacket!! What tickles me pink…obviously funny YouTube videos…but ALSO….someecards.com! I browse that site whenever I need a laugh.
Michelle says:
October 19th 2009What tickles me pink…is that fact that my mom, sister and grandma are going to run a race with me when I visit from after 1 year of being away.
Angela Wilson says:
October 19th 2009I have a client who always wears Lucy. Beautiful stuff!
Yum Yucky says:
October 19th 2009Yay! I’m going to share the Coalition efforts with my teen. She’s not too young to start her awareness of the issues.
And yes, 110% plus an extra 50% for the birthday I will eat tomorrow (yes, another kid of mine is having a b-day).
AND!!! I’m tickled by the thought of how my sexy-ness factor would go through the roof if I was wearing that winning jacket. Uh huh.
Meta says:
October 19th 2009What tickles me pink? My students. I am an art teacher and I am always amazed at the things my kids come up with. Some of them are so creative and their minds are always working on one thing or another. Now that I am at the high school level, they are WAYYYYY more complex and complicated than the junior high schoolers were, but wow!!!
carrie says:
October 19th 2009i love the lucy pink collection. very cute.
my pooches tickle me pink. i have a lab and a chihuahua and the lab acts just like the chihuahua. right now they are laying in a patch of sun together.
Beth P. says:
October 19th 2009Heck, they don’t call me “Pinky” at work for nothing! In fact, I’m wearing it right now and it’s a special hoodie I bought for breast cancer awareness! What tickles me pink are my doggies. My two labs are the highlights of my morning and my running partners… although I can go longer than they can! Their antics can always bring a smile to my face, no matter how dark the cloud is over my head!
Sheryl Miller says:
October 19th 2009Being the Breast Cancer Awareness Coordinator at the University of Kansas, I’m telling hundreds of young women this week about how they can support the Young Survival Coalition!
110% will most definitely be given during my workouts and while I’m teaching group fitness classes.
And what tickles me pink? The fact that my mom has been in remission from breast cancer for five (5) years!
Trista aka @HeveyT says:
October 19th 2009I have tweeted this to my network in hopes to spread the word about the Young Survival Coalition! I will definitely work 110% in all my workouts.
Now what tickles me pink is having quality family time at the holidays and laughing so hard until our stomachs HURT..it’s always a good time being with them.
FatFighterTV says:
October 19th 2009I love Lucy, too! Hmmm… what tickles me pink? When I oversleep and my cat paws at my face to make sure I get up. Too cute.
Mikela says:
October 19th 2009Oh my gosh, this jacket is so danged cute! I didn’t know I could LOVE LUCY but after looking at the website I can see that I WILL LOVE Lucy, especially if I win that CUTE CUTE CUTE Breakaway jacket. I can so see me wearing it on my bicycle…who says all bike gear needs to be neon yellow? I think I could be seen in this!
Suzanne says:
October 19th 2009I promise to give 110% this week, I have to do my final long run on Sunday – 22 miles so I don’t have any choice! What tickles me pink is my 2 year old who was doing a “check up” on the dog this morning and looked in his ears and exclaimed “his ears is pink!”
Mary @ Fit this girl says:
October 19th 2009I LOVE the Lucy Jacket!! I am prepping for the Minnesota fall and winter with layers and layers!! I am sure that this will help, especially since pink is so HOT this year, and we are still in BCA month too. I will for sure dedicate 110% to my workouts this week, I am 2 weeks away from my first Half marathon and am tackling a long run today by splitting it in two instead of doing less or skipping. It is easier for me to handle that thought today!! Great giveaway!
Kate says:
October 19th 2009I’m letting all my girlfriends know about the Young Survival Coalition and reminding them to stay aware of their bodies because cancer doesn’t really care how old you are. Definitely committing to 110% this week and next and next and…
And, what tickles me pink? Being in a room with lots of amazing, strong women pushing through an incredibly intense detox yoga class. And taking a looooong shower afterward.
Heather says:
October 19th 2009Supporting a great cause, like Breast Cancer tickles me pink! October is BC awareness month and I’d love to show my support in this jacket!
Lauren @ Team Giles says:
October 19th 2009Love your 3 ways to enter! :) I’m so in!
Hmm what tickles me PINK?? Hmm… its silly. But I LOVE it when I wake up in the morning to emails from readers that are sweet and inspiring. Totally makes my day!
Rachael says:
October 20th 2009Yeah, I’m one of THOSE PEOPLE that happened upon this giveaway because the word’s Lucy and Free sucked me in … but Lucy themselves posted it on Twitter this morning, so I digress.
What tickles me pink? The size 8 jeans I can now fit into after only 3 months of running. I started out a gasping, horridly out-of-shape flab-o-licious mess that couldn’t run more then 30 seconds at a time, to the fine piece of arse that sits before my mighty laptop today! You’d better believe I’m going to work my butt off this week, now that I finally have day off work …
I’m going to Twitter about the Young Survival Coalition in 5 seconds … you can check here: http://www.twitter.com/rachael_taylor if you don’t believe me … haha! Oh and I also just added you to my reader ….
Joyce Cherrier says:
October 20th 2009I’m in for sure! I will happily spread the word about the Young Survival Coalition and most definitely commit to the workouts! What tickles me pink is seeing so many people motivated to be part of fighting Breast Cancer. I’m also tickled pink by women who support other women in their journey to become healthy and feel good about themselves! And of course I Love Lucy Activewear is awesome!! Great post Joanna and thanks for the motivation and inspiration!
Michele says:
October 20th 2009What tickles me pink? Seeing how tough my best friend is after seeing her mother and her aunt both battle breast cancer. Another thing that tickles me pink? I can use my uber-obsessive social media personality to spread the word!! I shall tweet in one second!
Dawn says:
October 20th 2009My kids growing up and becoming friends :)
Jessica Ashley (Sassafrass) says:
October 20th 2009I just shared your contest and a bit about this amazing organization on Yahoo! Shine, so I hope that spreads the good word to many people.
I am trying very hard to become a runner. I am a very active person and this is a big challenge for me. It tickles me pink that my 5-year-old wants to be a part of that and volunteers to run with me so we can spend time together. Very sweet.
Ang says:
October 20th 2009It tickles me pink when my cat Buttercup does yoga with me! She always stretches out by my mat and when I lie down she paws my hair!
Caryn says:
October 20th 2009What tickles me pick??? Seeing how dedicated you are to your causes and to this FABULOUS blog. You make my day everytime I read Fitness and Spice. But what really tickles me pink is everytime I walk into my 10 year old daughter’s bedroom. SHE LOVES PINK and I LOVE her room. It is my favorite room in the whole house. I hope she never grows out of loving pink!!
LindaM says:
October 20th 2009What tickles me pink?? When someone I am training in person or counseling on-line tells me the difference that my guidance has made in their life. They feel better about themselves on the inside, and they then look better to themselves on the outside. Their success and their newly-found happiness tickle me pink…there is nothing like it!
Jo–you have started such a great thing on here–and come so far yourself in so short a time–you rock girl!
Jodi Mork says:
October 20th 2009I am just tickled PINK by the men that chose to raise money for breast cancer research by putting together a carnival fundraiser at my old company- talk about tearing up! It was so moving to see how hard they all worked
Sara says:
October 20th 2009I am tickled pink by my three younger sisters. Now that we are all adults, I see them as such powerful women who inspire me, strengthen me, and make me better. I raise money for them!
Courtney says:
October 20th 2009I’ll definitely work out hard this week, because my body is strong and I’ll never take that for granted!
Watching my fifteen year old sister grow up, face the challenges of high school, excel in sports such as volleyball and soccer, and tell me that she respects herself too much to follow in the footsteps of a friend who is less than modest tickles me pink :]
Sarah says:
October 23rd 2009What tickles me pink is the sense of community in group exercise. Whether it’s a yoga, spinning or Zumba class, I love chatting with others after a good workout when we all have the post-workout endorphin rush, are still sweaty and rosy cheeked. The good vibes and universal connectidness flows during these moments and that tickles me pink
