I'm so conflicted. I am a mom of college athletes and for years I have been involved in pink events. When I first started, I was so excited to see how the girls responded. They were thrilled to be giving back to the community and pink just made it more fun. As much as I understand the loathing of the pink, I am careful with my public words, as I don't want to squash the efforts to raise money and keep breast cancer in the forefront of everyone's mind.

Last week, I posted on Facebook "We're aware. Find a Cure." A business friend of mine liked it so much she created t-shirts and mugs. The graphic has a pink ribbon.

My BC support group ladies have been posting things we want people to know on Facebook throughout this month. Our own PSAs. It's important for us to be our own advocates and educate as many people in our world as possible.
