As many of you already know, the Vera Bradley Company is very proactive in spreading its breast cancer awareness message. This float is one more way that they are getting the word out. Actress and breast cancer survivor Cynthia Nixon (a/k/a Miranda from Sex in the City) will ride on the float, along with three other breast cancer survivors.
