I also just want to add, the awareness ribbon was not intended to be the symbol of breast cancer. Rather it is the symbol of the fight for a cure and the end of women having to battle this terrible disease. It is to help spread the word of prevention/early detection by self exam, mammograms and routine exams by your physician. That is why it is called the Awareness Ribbon, and not the Breast Cancer Ribbon. I think it's awesome of Cheri to be active in this campaign to spread awareness of early detection and the wonderful odds that gives for cure. She shares her struggle and is making sure it's not in vain. I am really proud to have the priviledge of donating this quilt to her.
