National Football League denies DeAngelo Williams’ request to wear pink all season long
“The league works with the clubs and players to raise awareness collectively for breast cancer during the month of October”, said NFL vice president Troy Vincent. Use the hashtag #WHEREDOYOUDOIT on social media to join the conversation and share where you do it.
It is said that one in eight American women will develop invasive breast cancer.
To show support for those undergoing breast cancer treatment, D&D Air Conditioning and Heating will be providing air conditioning checkups for clients of Partners for Breast Cancer Care Inc. through October 31.
But league policies aside, Williams’ determination to get women screened for breast cancer is one of the league’s most commendable off-field endeavors. “Screening breast ultrasound, where for people who have dense breast we use a totally different way looking at the breast and finding cancers that we would not have seen, even five, 10 years ago”.
Newport and Cocke County leaders gathered Wednesday to talk about the importance of early detection to combat breast cancer.
“The same way it made you feel after you heard it – like, man”, Williams told ESPN.
The front of Joe Basil Chevrolet is now pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Fosseway Garden Centre, in Moreton-in-Marsh, is selling the special Time to Live rose to help the charity achieve its aim that by 2050 everyone who has breast cancer will live. “It’s about getting women to recognize to get tested”, said Williams. The National Football League issued this statement on Williams’ pink-hued requests.
Thanks to all the women who took this hashtag literally for giving us two very good reasons to support breast cancer research.
