What about the Other Cancers? ( A_O_R)

For my act of resistance, I decided to raise awareness about the cancers of the body which are not commonly discussed. I mean, we usually talk about breast cancer, lung cancer, etc, but what about eye cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer??? So in order to get more people aware about these cancers, I deciced to use different colored ribbons to represent the different colors of cancers, and I placed them on a tote, which could be easily seen. I used pink for Breast cancer ( which we all know), I used red for World Aids Day ( which isnt a cancer, but it is just as important), blue to represent cervical cancer, and brown for colon cancer ( how appropriate :). I think that my cancer awareness was not only creative, but informative. It allowed people to explore the reality of many cancers and how they affect people. Moreover, I feel that my cancer awareness was very effective because people began to ask for ribbons from my bag. I mean, I was happy to give them away, and It let me kno that people were really interested in my "art" if you will, and it made me happy that I was spreading my awareness effectively to my fellow peers.

Speaking of colors to represent cancers, I found a website which gives a NUMEROUS amounts of ribbons that are signified by their color and the disease, disorder, problem, etc that they represent. For example, black represents gun control, amish support, and mourning. Light blue ribbons represent Graves Disease, Lymphedema, and Pro Choice. Burgandy Ribbons represent Brain Aneurysm, Post-Polio Syndrome, and Sickle-Cell Anemia. Gray represents Asthma and allergies, along with many others. I think that this website is very interesting and informative, and it taught me about many other colors of ribbons that I had no idea existed.
