September is Ovarian Awareness Month

I honestly believe in the good of "pink" and the breast cancer awareness campaign.  I believe in the fight and the amount of resources and research committed to ending breast cancer because of "pink".  But in my heart, I wish the same attention was brought to all cancers.  Ovarian cancer took my mom's life 3 1/2 years ago.  It does all women and all of mankind justice to educate ourselves and our loved ones and friends about all the cancers that can affect us.  Pink is great.  But so is almost every color of the rainbow and more that represent other cancers.  Teal is for Ovarian cancer. 

September is the month designated for awareness of many types of cancers, including Childhood Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Gynecologic Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Leukemia & Lymphoma, and Thyroid Cancer.  Pick one and spread the word!
