Seeing the guys in pink shoes, gloves, wristbands, towels and captain's patches is cool.
The NFL supporting breast cancer deserves a shout out! Good going guys! |

I know of a town also, that has a high cancer risk. My aunt' uncle and a couple of my friends died with cancer in this town. Parts of the town would glow at night from the chemicals that were dumped there. It's a sad situation

Taking care of a loved one is never easy. We must never forget the caregivers, they are the angels that help us battle this terrible disease.
