Wear it Pink!
Think before your pink
Although many people fighting this disease feel supported by the month’s events, activities, and pink merchandise, others intensely dislike Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The ubiquitous pink ribbons and celebratory atmosphere can seem like a distraction from the very real need for a greater understanding of the disease and more research leading to better treatments.
Wearing pink has become a universal symbol of awareness, hope and community. Before wearing pink or a pink ribbon, think about why you are doing it. Do more than just donning pink attire. Find ways to do things this month to raise awareness and support the cause.
