"Teal" the cows come home....

That is the name of the teal nail polish in the photo above. Most people don't know that teal is the color for ovarian cancer. Everyone identifies pink with breast cancer....but, teal is a lesser known symbol.

As my friends and I have, unfortunately, become more aware of this disease, we have learned a lot about ovarian cancer. I am sure that this is common when a close friend or relative is suffering from a particular disease. Go to this site for more information and stay informed about this "silent killer".

Because teal is the official color, she and another friend decided to purchase several jars of this color and pass them out to our close group of friends as well as family. We are all showing her our support by wearing it on our toes and on one pinkie finger.

It is our small way of taking this journey with her...

I wish that we could do more...
