Cosplay for a Cure
*UPDATE! Thanks to your votes, the store is now open here! Order away!!*
If there’s anything “good” about having cancer or being sick, it’s realizing how many people care about you. Just when I was feeling very accepting of my situation and feeling like I was ready to share my situation with the internets, in came a flood of responses to my last post. Many of you shared your own personal struggles with your health as well as experiences caring for loved ones and I thank you for that. I was and still am overwhelmed with all the kindness and love that has come my way. Many of your responses brought tears to my eyes and I can’t help but feel so inspired and encouraged through all of the kind words from friends and family (that includes you!).
With that, I started thinking about this month being Breast Cancer Awareness month and how that might apply to me. Over the past few years, I have been asked many times about selling cosplay prints, but was never sure how comfortable I felt doing that. Imagining a photo of me on someone’s wall still kind of weirds me out and on top of that, to charge people for it just doesn’t sit right to me. However, offering cosplay prints where all proceeds would go towards Breast Cancer Research was like a no brainer. But since I’m still pretty new at this, I guess now my question is, what prints would I even sell? There are a few cosplays that I realize are more popular than others, but if I’m going to make the most of this, I figured I should take a poll!
So…if you think you might be interested in purchasing a print to help this cause, I’m asking you to please fill out the poll below. If you don’t think you would want a print, no worries and no pressure!

Hi!
I run a Breast Cancer Foundation event called Cosplay For a Cure in Ontario, Canada (you can find us on facebook by searching Cosplay For a Cure).
Once you’ve decided which prints you’re going to be selling, please send us a message directed to myself, Gina, on our page, and we’ll be thrilled to promote what you’re doing! Keep fighting the good fight! We’re all behind you! <3
