This is the month of pink. Everywhere you look you’ll see pink, pink and more pink. As you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s the month where we make people aware of the harshness of the disease that so many women have to endure all over the world.
To me, I love the month of October and I love the idea of dedicating a whole month to making people aware and raising money for such a good cause. Although part of me starts to wonder if the whole month is beginning to lose a little bit of it’s meaning.
In the beginning, it was all about raising the awareness for this cancer that didn’t have a cure and was affecting women everywhere, and now you see more of just all the pink and less of the explanation and talk of the meaning behind it all.
All month you see NFL football players wearing pink somewhere on your uniform and clothing brands come out with a pink line of clothing, but I’m starting to notice it being talked about less. The only time i’ve really seen it talked about so far this month is doing a pink out for high school football games.
I love all the walks/runs that they do to raise awareness and allowing people to make teams in memory of people they know who have had breast cancer and been fortunate enough to overcome it or for the people who haven’t been as lucky is great as well. Maybe it’s just the city that I live in, but I have noticed a decrease in talk about Breast Cancer Awareness Month this year and I don’t like it, I think this month should really be recognized as it has in the past and I don’t want to see it fade.
