It all started with a breast cancer diagnosis and the bravery found from wearing pink shoes.

Whether you wear our shoes for your own journey, send them to a loved one as a gift of support, or to honor someone who fought a courageous cancer battle, we hope our pink shoes ignite the power to be strong and brave with every step taken.

Share in the power of giving Poppies!
We started donating pink Poppies in 2023 and it soon become an annual tradition, thanks to people like you.
What started with an email to friends and family asking if they’d help donate pink shoes over the holiday season, has quickly turned into a cherished bi-annual tradition.
When you choose to purchase Poppies for Patients, you contribute TWO pairs of shoes to our tote bag that we fill up and deliver to MGH and Dana Farber for patients to enjoy two times a year, December and May.
Thank you for donating and helping us bring a cheerful, bright spot to those impacted by this disease!
We love personalization.
Share some meaningful letters for initials or symbols (heart, butterfly, flower etc) that describe you or your gift-ee and we will create a charm stack trio, making your Poppies unique and one of a kind.
The right heel will have three charms stacked, giving you the extra pep in your step for anything coming your way!

We donate various percentages, annually to non profits like Runway For Recovery, who’s mission is to have a direct impact on families facing a cancer diagnosis on a daily basis. Let’s walk together so we can have more thrivers, rocking their colorful shoes, telling their cancer story.
Our shoes are intended for anyone needing a colorful boost of courage and connection in their life but most importantly during their cancer journey. Cancer can rob us of many things, but it cannot take away our spirit. Why not send strength and ignite courage through solidarity with our meaningful colors to those that need it most!?
