Think Pink

When we think of the color pink, what usually comes to mind? Popular answers may be that pink represents love and sweetness or happiness and affection. However, pink is also
the color for Breast Cancer Awareness. The Pink Vaccine is the world’s first preventive breast cancer vaccine. However, although it has been proven to be 100% effective in preventing breast cancer in mice and successful in reducing tumors in mice that already had breast cancer, it awaits funding to use in human clinical trials. You can read more about it here.

One of my first instructors in SL was Giselle Temple, and those who know her know that she was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer in 2011. She thoughtfully provided a logo to use in case we wanted to support the Pink Vaccine funding. If you support it, here is a copy for you too. Just right-click and save. I’m still fairly young and healthy (I hope!), but I encourage and support its funding because one never knows what will work. Who knows what the future will bring, but either way we all have the right to hope for the best.
