heart disease
I Might Be Showing Her My O Face asked:


You know, the pink ribbons and such, Baseball players wearing pink for a day and looking ridiculous, etc. Shouldn’t women be wearing different color ribbons and marching for a cure for heart disease, since it kills far, far more women than breast cancer does? It can’t possibly be that heart disease is suffered by both women and men that heart disease doesn’t get its due, can it?
