I’m not asking us to all lay down in protest, I am simply asking that we no longer just lay down in defeat.

Who needs Pink?
In the last 40 years the Metastatic Breast Cancer death toll has not changed significantly. Nor has the mean survival rate of 3 years. We have spent almost half a century trying to fund research for a cure, and what we got instead was pink ribbon campaigns. Our pink ribbon has been singed gray by the memory of those we have lost. It is our turn now. #PinkIsNotACure
