charliesmumThose of you on Facebook have probably seen this meme:
"Something fun is going on...........Just write the color of your bra in your status, just the color, NOTHING ELSE!!! and send this on to ONLY WOMEN , no men.....It will be neat to see if this will spread the wings of cancer awareness. It will be fun to see how long it takes before the men will wonder why all the women have a color in their status! .... ha ha"
It's one of the many, many things on Facebook that make a person feel like they're making a difference, when, really, they're not. I joined quite a few of those groups on FB myself, so I'm not pointing fingers here, but this one, for various reasons, is annoying me.
I think by this point we're pretty aware of breast cancer. It ahs a month dedicated to it, it has 3 day charity walks, it has various products being coloured pink. Numerous weepy books and Lifetime For Women movies have been made about the subject.
It doesn't need any more awareness.
It needs a cure.
