Those of you who know me well know this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine! I stole this list from my step mom Meredith Mariani Dilling.

Raise awareness and encourage others to raise awareness for all Cancers. It makes me so sad that I have yet to find a business that sells product and donates to any Cancer BESIDES breast cancer! Do we really need pink duct tape, pink bubble wrap and all this other stuff? NO! However it does get our attention. We need that for more than just Breast Cancer! I actually talked to a local small business who does a t-shirt for breast cancer and donated proceeds about a Leukemia shirt. The answer ... they can't do that because they print in bulk. Why can't we print something in bulk besides just breast cancer stuff!  I know it will take me awhile but I believe I am going to try to find some statistics on all of the above cancers!  I know Leukemia and awareness is my passion and others have equal passion for other types of cancer. What i am saying is why is it that the main stream media and business' chose breast cancer?
