Bra Colors Show Support For Breast Cancer Awareness

Many of you may have logged onto Facebook yesterday and saw women posting colors in their statuses and wonder, "What the heck?" Some of my favorites were: hot pink with black polka dots, turquoise with black lace, and Betty Boop print! Mass text messages and emails were being sent that said: Ladies! Post your bra color in your status to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness, and in honor of survivors and suffers. Also, DONT TELL MEN! The fun was in seeing all the guys go crazy trying to figure out why we were posting just colors in our statuses. *Hi-5* to whoever came up with the idea and to the ladies that participated.

According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2009 there were 192, 370 new cases of women with Breast Cancer and 1, 910 new cases for me. There were 40, 170 females who dies from Breast Cancer in 2009 and 440 men. Some people thought that posting your bra color in your status was silly, but I dont think there is anything silly about prompting a conversation that could save lives. I'm glad I participated.
