What color ribbon is for lung cancer?
Most people are aware of the cancer signified by pink, but do you know what is the colour for lung cancer? a disease that kills more women each year than breast tumors? It is a bit of a trick question. Lung cancer hides out deep in the chest virtually impossible to touch and lacking nerves to warn its victims with pain. So the lung cancer ribbon is often considered to be clear or pearl colored, hard to find, just like lung cancer.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and prevention and early detection are key. Pearl or white – that’s the color of the Lung Cancer Awareness ribbon. We invites you to be creative and make your own white ribbon. Or, if you’d prefer, Support a friend or family member touched by cancer with lung cancer awareness shirts, ribbons, bracelets, jewelry, tattoos, gifts, and much more!
