Copied and pasted from a facebook event, but for all of those not on facebook or not aware
"Teal is the color of ovarian cancer awareness. On the first Friday in September, our national ovarian cancer awareness month, we urge everyone who cares about this disease to wear teal--and tell others why you are dressed in this color."
And even though I don't know anyone affected by this, I feel like we should let the world know, maybe make teal as associate with ovarian cancer as much as pink is for breast cancer.
I will gladly wear teal tomorrow and pick up an avon romance (they're donating $.25 for each book purchased with the KISS and Teal seal on it up to $25,000 for research) and I'm not trying to advertise, just spread awareness!
