Before you continue on, let me tell you about MY HERO. According to the dictionary, a hero is admired or idealized for courage and that is the definition that reflects my feelings forf my dear friend who is undauntedly fighting a war with ovarian cancer that threatens her life. I love her dearly, she's My Hero as well as a mother, grandmother, champion of champions, friend to all and so much more.
I used the Breast Cancer Awareness Girl from Bonibleaux Designs and instead of coloring it pink, I used teal, the color of ribbon that signifies ovarian cancer and coincidently, September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. Sadly, until cancer is conquered the roll of colored ribbons listed below will continue to grow.
Yellow - Bladder cancer
Grey - Brain cancer
Pink - Breast cancer
White - Cervical cancer
Gold - Childhood cancers
Dark blue - Colon cancer
Burgundy & Ivory - Head & Neck cancer
Lavender - General Cancer
Kelly Green - Kidney
Orange - Leukemia
Clear - Lung
Lime Green - Lymphoma
Black - Melanoma
Burgundy - Multiple Myeloma
Teal - Ovarian
Purple - Pancreatic cancer
Blue - Prostate cancer
Light Yellow - Sarcoma/Bone
Peach - Uterine cancer
