PINK FORTITUDE. THE STORY.

What does fortitude mean? How do I find my own fortitude? What is the Pink Fortitude story?  

Pink is the nod to breast cancer of course, and Fortitude was a special word shared between Holly and her mother. Holly’s mother has Addison’s Disease, and from watching her fight this illness her entire life, “Fortitude” seemed to be the perfect fit for this inspirational company.

The lotus flower became Pink Fortitude’s logo to honor the parallel of the beautiful flower which grows out of the murky waters. We all have our struggles, whether it’s chronic illness, relationships, financial struggles, or grief. How will you take your struggles and grow into a beautiful flower?
