This month, October, is Breast Cancer Awareness month. The wearing of the pink.
I enjoy and support saving all the tatas we can but I have to ask a question.
A tough question that I keep hearing over and over again.
Why does only breast cancer get national attention ?
Is it because after all we are talking breasts ?
Are they better organized ?
Does better organized equal more money ?
Does more money equal more exposure ?
I’m not sure.
I know people who have family members that are ill or have died from other forms of cancer, keep asking these questions.
I really don’t have a good answer for them.
Do you ?
Let’s not forget these other forms of cancer victims in our thoughts, our prayers, our donations.
I’ve have a link below to a website, although commercial, that informs us what color ribbons support other forms of cancer. Most of these colors, I have never seen associated with the respective cancer type.
I have no affiliation with this site and know little about them.
However, they do a very nice job explaining cancer types and their
supporting colors.
Take a look.
Keep informed.
Keep aware.
Share some good thoughts and prayers for all.
Let’s be aware of breast cancer and all others.
