Popular Post Church Posted October 1, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 This month we have something special. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and so we're taking this month to honor the moms, sisters, and all women out there! We are dedicating this month to them, and putting a new, pink, spin on things! (Perhaps more along the lines of minus green, or perhaps even lightish red!!) We're putting a new bot out there, simply named BCAM, to remind people what the month is all about! And don't forget charity! We'll have an exclusive place for people to donate as they see fit, and all to help breast cancer victims around the world. Plus, you'll receive an exclusive award, as well as be featured with a specifically pink new color for the rest of the month! Not to mention, the staff you wage war with in the critically acclaimed Staff vs. Members community event, you'll be gunning down pink mods! That's right, you'll not only have the advantage in numbers, but we'll be pink!But this month is not all fun and games. The reality is that Breast Cancer exists, as a horrible disease that troubles untold numbers across the globe. The struggle of living through it is more than some people can bear. Both of my grandmothers had breast cancer. But both of them recovered. This disease is out there, but it can be defeated. And even we, in our little corner of the Halo Universe, can do our part. Don't forget to get your signature remade in the pink theme in Gryffin and Brony's BCAM Sig Makeover Shop! And any donation towards the cure will make a difference! Everyone meet the entity that will hold the minus green colors: BCAM! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboose The Ace Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Pink is the most manliest colour there is anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 If there anything I know in this world, its cancer, any and every cancer. And I hate it. To those out that are affected, prayers be with you. I've lost a good size portion of my family to cancer, 2 of them this year, and its a sad reality when it strikes you or a loved one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Cancer is a cold-hearted killer that strikes far too often... and I don't want it in a world made of love and peace! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buns Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 This is so wonderful and fitting as soon as I get some money I will donate thank you for providing a link. One day we will defeat Breast Cancer just like we defeated the covenant(except no guns or violence involved. In the mean time I'm glad we take this time to spread awareness. Awesome job staff! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Ahh... so this explains it. Great choice guys, you picked the perfect choice! I do every "Race for the cure" event, and I support every avenue of finding cures (Like experimental drugs, new forms of chemotherapy, and Stem cell research!) Plus I am an advocate of either eating like an athlete (Like organic foods, and a balanced diet of whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats) or eating like a Vegan (Completely raw). You are what you eat, so eat clean and your body will be clean! My condolences to those who have lost someone close to them, due to cancer... I lost my last living grandfather three years ago due to Leukemia that he got due to a rare blood disorder he got from environmental pollution's he was exposed to when he fled Romania as a teenager to come to the states for a better life. My mother forbid me from seeing him growing up, so I only knew him during my first 5 years of my life... Then once my parents divorced I could finally see him.. But he was to sick... So I saw him on his deathbed, and I was there everyday, holding his hand... Until the end. He was high on all the drugs they were pumping into him but, he knew I was there, and so was his wife (My grandma), my mother, my brother, and his best friend. I could feel his hand go limp as he was holding mine in his left hand, while he held my brothers hand in his right hand.. He was crying, but he had a big smile on his face at the same time... I could feel the life leave his body, and he was gone... I never cried so hard in my life, and I don't know if it was because I never got to truly know him, or if I regretted listening to my mother and missing out on so much. All I know is if you or someone you know is in this situation... Don't make the same mistakes I did. Don't wait until its too late. Think for yourself, make your own choices, and see and share your life with those you choose. Don't let what happened to me, happen to anyone else. You have the power to shape your own life... And do not be like my mom. Forgive, and forget... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I want to encourage you all to donate what you can for this cause. If and when any of you do, PM me to let me know, and I will give you the award. We will be doing this on the honor system, so obviously there will be no way to verify it, but I hope that you all have enough integrity to keep to it. Thank you to all of you who will so willingly give money for this cause! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BATMAN Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Glad to see this. Found out in February a couple of years back (I think) that my dad has multiple myeloma. The only reason we found out was 'cause he broke his back (yes, quite literally fractured a vertebrae) and thought he had another hernia. As a friend of mine would put it, "Your dad's too stubborn to let cancer kill him-- hell, he broke his spine and he's still walking around. Cancer's not gonna do ---- to him." Best wishes-- luck, prayers, the lot-- to those affected. Stay strong, guys. God bless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
