Why Breast Cancer Awareness Month Matters

Every October, landmarks across the world turn pink — from skyscrapers to sports arenas — symbolizing unity in the fight against breast cancer. But beyond the color and campaigns lies a deeper purpose: awareness saves lives. Early detection, regular check-ups, and open conversations are crucial steps that can make all the difference.

In Miami, hospitals, local communities, and organizations join together to provide free screenings, survivor walks, and fundraising events. Through these efforts, the city not only celebrates survivors but also remembers those who have lost their battle — with compassion and action leading the way.

The Story Behind the Heart Pillow

What began as a small act of kindness has grown into an international symbol of comfort. The Heart Pillow — or *Herzkissen*, as it’s called in Germany — was originally created by volunteers and nurses for women after breast cancer surgery. Its unique heart shape provides gentle relief under the arm, easing post-surgery pain while symbolizing love and care.

Jens Bayard, the founder of Bayard Coaching Life LLC and editor of SunCityMiami305Exclusive, first encountered this project in Europe. After living in Germany and Switzerland — where he sewed and donated hundreds of these hearts — he decided to continue this mission in Miami, spreading awareness and compassion one pillow at a time.

Each pillow is handmade with care and bright fabric designs that bring joy and strength to women during recovery. It’s more than a gift — it’s a message: *You’re not alone. You are loved.* 💗

From Europe to Miami – Continuing the Mission

Now based in Miami, Jens brings the Heart Pillow Project to the Sunshine State. What once started as a local community action has evolved into a cross-continental movement of hope. For every handmade reading pillow sold through Bayard Coaching, one Heart Pillow is donated to support a woman affected by breast cancer.

The idea is simple yet powerful: buy one, give one. Each purchase not only supports local craftsmanship but also helps continue the chain of compassion that began over a decade ago. The project now connects volunteers, donors, and survivors in a shared purpose — to make healing a little softer, and love a little stronger.

  • 🧵 Buy a handmade reading pillow – one Heart Pillow will be donated in your name.

  • 🎗️ Join local events – from Miami walks to creative community sewing days.
