The Pink Ribbon

The Pink Ribbon

In Costa Rica, the cases of breast cancer are increasing in women and men.

The population has to know a lot about this problem, because with an early diagnose you can receive an easier treatment and the process is not going to be so hard.

I propose to form a club called “The Pink Ribbon”, the purpose of this club is going to be the promote the well-being, encourage measures of caution for a diagnose in time, and help the people fight against the tumor. We want to offer an opportunity of life, to have a better process with this disease.

This cancer and all the others in general are a big challenge and with us, all the people can face it and rise to the challenge. The number of people in the club is unlimited; any student of Ulacit can enjoy us in this battle. The University is going to be the center of reunion; you can find us in the afternoon, usually at coffee time.

Our meetings are going to be about how we can make a plan to prevent the cancer, share information that can help people in the process and help the families. We can discuss with a nutritionist about meal plans because the diet has to be different during the chemotherapy. In this club, the members can tell us testimonies, because it would be amazing to be able to speak about that and liberate all the suffering and maybe frustration that you can feel in that moment, it is not easy to deal with all of that.

We want to organize a benefit party and with the money make the compaings that will promote all the information about breast cancer. Outside the University we can organize reunions with people who want to be heard or does not have any idea about how to treat these diseases.

Our most important goal is to help diagnose this cancer early and be part of this fight, make the process less painful. We don´t have too many rules, the only and the most important that we want of you is responsibility and loyalty.

Remember that doing things for other people is the biggest pleasure in life. Also for people in this long road, is important to have the right attitude and a positive mind.
