Breast cancer awareness
In the month of October, breast
cancer is recognized by survivors, family and friends of survivors and/or
victims of the disease. A pink ribbon is worn to recognize the struggle
that sufferers face when battling the cancer.
Pink for October is an initiative started by Matthew Oliphant, which asks
that any sites willing to help make people aware of breast cancer, change
their template or layout to include the color pink, so that when visitors
view the site, they see that the majority of the site is pink. Then after
reading a short amount of information about breast cancer, or being
redirected to another site, they are aware of the disease itself.
