[PinkOcto] Ribbons, ribbons ribbons!

[geminianeyes]

As most of you know, Pink is the ribbon colour for Breast Cancer Awareness. It’s one of the reasons why we say “Going Pink for October,” to bring awareness to breast cancer.

Did you know that Red is the colour for AIDS?

Apparently there seems to be colours for all sorts of cancers. A number of them are not official but I would recommend checking out this store to see what kind of colours are associated with what cancer. (By the way, I’m not associated with the store, just came across them while researching)

Cervical cancer is teal, while prostate cancer is light blue. Interesting colours, aren’t they?
