Go PINK for October

Yes, I'm a copy-Kitten-Child. Grettir said he was "going pink for October," so I had to find out all about it. Google it, and you find, among a myriad of links, Pink for October.

And in the time it took for me to muck up my site imposing the "Hills-Pink" template on it and (sort of) fixing it again, Grettir had established "Team Tiny Pineapple." That's why he's the guru. As for going "pink," it's really very simple and doesn't involve ANY STRIPES WHATSOEVER - I promise:

Take part in Pink for October, a campaign to help raise awareness of, and money for, breast cancer research as part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please join the Tiny Pineapple Team and help raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

They've reached 139 now. I went and voted on your new "pinked" site.

Keep spreading the word...

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
The following is from American Cancer Society:

Colon Testing Saves Lives: What You Need to Know About Colon Testing

Colon cancer starts with a growth that is not yet cancer. Testing can help your doctor find (and remove) these growths before they become cancerous. If the test finds that colon cancer has already developed, you have a much better chance of beating it if it is found early.
Please visit the ACS for more information.

Remember, in this case, what you don't know CAN kill you.
