When his wife was diagnosed with cancer, Bob Carey did what he does best, take photographs and make her laugh. “That’s what I do when things are getting hard, I start making photographs”.

When Linda would go for treatment, she would take the images in her phone, the women would look at them and they would make them laugh and make the time pass” (Bob)

“It helps me be positive. The more I laugh, the better I feel.” (Linda)

“Oddly enough, her cancer has taught us that life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing—no, the only thing—we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others” (Bob).

When they launched the website www.thetutuproject.com, it very quickly went viral. “Who would have thought that a pink tutu would connect with so many people!” (Linda)

Bob and Linda have made it their goal to raise funds for women and their families that need financial support during their breast cancer treatment. That is why they founded The Carey Foundation in 2012. With the revenues from selling the pictures and The Tutu Project book, they help cover expenses for women undergoing cancer treatment (from transportation to and from the clinic, wigs, childcare and counseling).
