Awareness Ribbon Colors Response

   It is important to know what to support. There are so many things that happen. The Awareness Ribbon Color represents different causes that may touch you or may affect a family member or friend. It is a good thing to become aware of what the colors represent. The link at the end of the post can tell you all the colors. Listed below are just some of the colors and what the colors represent but the colors listed below represent a bunch more things then listed below. I just took one to three things that each color represents and in some color cases a took a few more to show you what each color represents and how powerful these diseases and crimes are. If a person is wearing a certain color they could be remembering someone they lost to that disease or know someone who has that disease or they just like that color. It is nice to be aware of the importance of colors.
