One again our collective attention is drawn to healthcare. Readily accessible early screening and detection will dramatically reduce the cost of breast cancer. Why is that access denied to one in five women? Why must 20% of our mothers, sisters and daughters face both the fear of a financial as well as medical catastrope?By sherry

I think it’s great having Pink to make women aware! Unfortunately, the water in the fountain has never looked pink. It usually takes on the color of RUST.By flipper

If you want to raise awareness about breast cancer, have a day where all the women in the US go topless. I’d even give a few bucks.
