" ... and no matter how this dance shall end, I will emerge all the stronger for I have in my corner the awesome power of prayer and the mighty power of the Sea of Pink.” (Excerpt from Sea of Pink © 2005)
"Today I was diagnosed with breast cancer ..." In 2005, on the very day that Fiona was diagnosed with breast cancer, she grabbed pen and paper in an effort to release all her thoughts and fears. What she found in the end was her battle cry to motivate and sustain her in the darkest of days in the months and years to come.
“But through this choking fog of fear, some things are starting to become crystal clear....” Fiona's father, poet Terry McGarry encouraged her to publish and copyright "Sea of Pink" ©️, seeing this as a way to encourage others.
“I was gripped by the walks, races and marathons all seeking a cure ...” In 2006, Lisa Rendall, a well known breast cancer advocate, and the local Rawlco Radio station asked Fiona to record her voicing the poem asking for her permission to play this at their upcoming C95 Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer Research.
Following the event the radio station asked to mix Fiona's recording with a song of her choosing. She chose a song that meant a great deal to her, "Angel" by Grammy Award winning Sarah McLachlan. In an incredibly generous gift, permission was given by McLachlan and her label Nettwerk Productions, including the rights to produce and sell 5000 copies of the single with the condition that 100% of the funds would be donated to breast cancer research.
Kelly and Fiona approached Scotiabank to sponsor the Sea of Pink project plan to sell this cd for $5 each, a goal of raising $25,000. Scotiabank backed the project purchasing all 5000 copies, selling copies in selection of branches and then donated the unsold copies back to Pink Warrior.
Rawlco Radio (C95) made the Sea of Pink a staple in their local radio marathon for a few years. Sales from the cd (and donations related to the cd) raised over $30,000 to date.
