It's All Pink at the Coliseum

I'm a Survivor. I'm a Cancer Survivor.

500 Breast Cancer Survivors went onto the Coliseum playing field this evening to celebrate the fact that they're still alive. And I was there to watch them for the fifth year in a row.

It was a sea of pink, a glorious deep pink, as the women sang, danced, pranced across the field, some of them with walkers, others with canes, others helping others. Glorious.

The Oakland Athletics have raised over $1 million for cancer research/awareness in 11 years. This year they raised $75,000. We all can be proud of that.

It was so great to see pink all over the stadium, too -- old people, young people, even male teenagers, all wearing pink. We are all in this together, after all.
