    What color do you start with?

    I believe you would start with pink, since it states on Row 43 "Switch to white ...". Here are colors for other cancers/conditions/etc.: Dark Blue: Child Abuse, Colon Cancer, Arthritis, Police Officer lost in the Line of Duty, CFS Light Blue: Mens cancers, Thyroid Disease, Graves Disease Gold: Childhood Cancer Green: Organ Donation/Transplant, Bi-Polar, Tourettes Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy Lime Green: Lymphoma, Muscular Dystrophy, Lyme Disease Teal: Female Cancers, Panic & Stress Disorders including PTSD Red: AIDS/HIV, Substance Abuse, Heart Disease Orange: Leukemia, Multiple Sclerosis Pink: Breast Cancer Lavender: All Cancers, Epilepsy Purple: Domestic Violence, Crones Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Fibromyalgia, Children w/Disabilities, Alzheimers, Lupus, ALL Cancer Survivors Yellow: Support our Troops, Spina Bifida, Missing Child White: innocence, right to life/pro-life
