Letter from the Editor: Thinking Pink

Most people are aware of breast cancer awareness events, which peak internationally every year in October. What may first come to mind when asked about breast cancer activism is the pink ribbon, symbolizing awareness of the disease, support for those afflicted, and the need to raise dollars for breast cancer research.
