Sexy Funny Cancer

This week a colleague sent me a link to a great cancer advocacy and apparel organization that combines sexy, funny and in-your-face advocacy for breast cancer. That is the perfect combo for Love in the Time of Cancer.

Save Second Base came from women helping women and offers a hilarious tee shirt that has a drawing of two baseballs at oh, about breast height, with the slogan, “Save Second Base.” Brittany who sent me the link said, “some find this a bit “in-your-face, but as you’d probably agree, we find cancer more “in-your-face” – especially the havoc it wrecks on patients and their families.” I do agree.

Save 2nd Base began as a cancer charity walk team for Kelly Rooney, a mom of five,  who died of breast cancer in 2006 at age 43. Rooney designed the tee shirt for her freinds. Now the friends are raising money for research and advocacy for breast cancer especially in young women.
