   you could say on the shirt:

   “stop breast cancer…uh, because the number one cancer killer of women is actually lung cancer!”

   funny how media can make you lose sight of whats most important.

   I’m not sure you should try. A picture on a shirt is time consuming, and could be expensive. But you could maybe use bumper stickers that say something like “Cancer cannot steal the love that heals your heart” …. and have it underneath a pic of the pink ribbon.

   Breast cancer is a killer. Women must take responsibility for their bodies and do self examinations and get proper check-ups. If caught early somebody with this diagnosis will survive it.

   That is what I would stress…

   Take action if something seems wrong to you. Do not hesitate, act not react.

   Well, it’s not very catchy – but since it’s aimed at school age students, the thing I would most like them to know is that their chances of developing breast cancer are just about nil.

   Every day on this board there are questions from teenage girls terrified that they have breast cancer because of perfectly normal hormonal development. In fact it’s almost unheard of in under 25s, and fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed are under 30. Most (80%) are over 50.

   As I said, not very catchy and doesn’t lend itself to a shirt logo – though in the UK there was an awareness campaign called ’80 over 50′ a few years ago to raise awareness of this. But if you can incorporate that information anywhere, somehow, it would save a lot of girls a lot of unnecessary worry, fear and panic.
