My objection to all of this is that it is so easily commercialized. I am a breast cancer survivor and am turned off by all the pinkness in the market place. I have seen advertisments for ribbon pins, car magnet bows, bracelets, etc. in a rainbow of colors. The actual "cause" gets a very small percent of the sales.
We can do more good by encouraging others to donate directly to OCF, use the Amazon link and buy products from the OCF store. This is another answer to "What can I do for you?"
It is very easy to slip a few of the OCF brochures in a purse or jacket pocket and give them to doctors and dentists for their offices. I have spoken to med students, radiation therapists, etc. as I go to various tests or even in elevators. Take advantage of those group inspections by the medical students to give them a personal insight.
Most important: encourage as many people as possible to get regular checkups and to be aware of symptoms that persist for more than a few weeks or do not respond to treatment. This can be done in a non-alarming way, such as "it is better to check it out and catch it early if it is something."
