Ford is calling all warriors to bang your drum -- paint your face -- run -- walk -- and fight for the breast cancer cure. Ford and Ford dealers are recruiting Warriors to ramp up the fight against breast cancer. As the Ford for Warriors in Pink page states, "Ford Warriors in Pink can be found at the Komen Race for the Cure events as always, only now they will arrive as a united front, as one in Warrior gear." The Warrior gear are symbols and each one carries a meaning. War Paint is worn by Warriors ready to enter battle; The Warriors represent the power and the courageous who fight against breast cancer; Wings honor the angels who have passed after their fight against breast cancer; Crowned Warriors remind us that breast cancer touches the lives of both genders; Feathers represent kinship and are traditionally used in battle; Hearts represent the love in the lives of breast cancer fighters, their family and friends; Chevron is a French word meaning rafter and signifies protection and Plants represent life, growth and survival.
Recently, someone remarked to me that they could not write about cancer every day. During the 30 second I Run video spot featured on the Warriors in Pink web page, there is a little girl who holds up a handwritten sign that says, My Mommy's going to make it. That is why I can write about cancer every day. As a breast cancer survivor, I believe, and I survive and I fight for all the mommies -- so one day little girls won't have to lose their mommies. That is how I can do it. Every day -- for as long as I survive. If you want to join a positive and powerful campaign in the fight against breast cancer, check out In Every Woman there is a Warrior in Pink.











1. WHY IS IT THAT AFTER OVER 50 YEARS, THERE IS STILL NO CURE FOR CANCER? THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY TAKES IN APPROX. 400 MILLION DOLLARS OF DONATIONS EVERY YEAR. GUESS WHAT? WHEN THERE IS A CURE, THE CANCER SOCIETY WILL STOP TAKING IN ALL THOSE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG, WELL MEANING PEOPLE REALLY WANT A CURE AND GIVE TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY. WHAT THEY DON'T REALIZE IS, ALOT OF THAT MONEY GOES FOR LAVISH VACATIONS AND DINNERS FOR THE CEO'S! WHY IS IT THAT ONLY DRUGS ARE BEING TESTED FOR CURES? WHAT ABOUT FOOD SUPPLEMENTS? PROBIOTICS? JUICING WHEAT GRASS, AND OTHER GREENS? MY FATHER DIED IN 1976 OF CANCER. HE HAD RADIATION AND CHEMO. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN! IN FACT, HE WAS GIVEN SO MUCH RADIATION, THAT 1 SIDE OF HIS BODY JUST SHATTERED. HE DIED IN AGONY. I REMEMBER WHEN HE SAID THAT HE BENT DOWN TO TIE HIS SHOE, HIS LEG BROKE. MY DAD WAS A HEAVY MAN, BUT AT THE END, HE WEIGHED ABOUT 79 POUNDS. HE DIED AT THE AGE OF 58, BUT WHEN I WENT TO VISIT, PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS MY GRANDFATHER. SO, PEOPLE SHOULD GET THE DRUG COMPANIES OUT OF THE CANCER CURE BUSINESS AND START TESTING ALL NATURAL WAYS. THANKS!
