Colored Ribbons, Colored Bracelets, Where Are We Going To Put Them All? Part 1

Tweet

As a breast cancer survivor I must admit that the sight of a "pink ribbon" touches my heart; but as a nation we have become totally "Ribbon Obsessed". Can you imagine if instead of purchasing all of the ribbons I am about to list, we all made that $1.00 or more donation to the "cause" we are supporting, how much actual research could be done in the name of our causes. I am going to do this in installments because the list is VERY LONG.
