Pink Fire Trucks

October 1st, 2010 by flanews

Firefighters are fighting cancer instead of fires today in Tallahassee.

Three pink fire trucks pulled into the capitol courtyard this morning to raise money and awareness for women fighting cancer. People who’ve had loved ones battle cancer signed the trucks before they headed to Pensacola. Tallahassee is just one of the stops on the “Pink Heals” road tour. The pink theme makes people think the tour is about breast cancer, but founder Dave Graybill says it’s about all forms of cancer facing women.

“A lady with skin cancer, uterus cancer, ovarian cancer, brain cancer any other types, she feels like she can’t the truck, because she doesn’t have breast cancer. That’s a shame. We are men marching on behalf of women by wearing her color because it’s the universal symbol of love and God put us here to wage war on and protect her,” said Graybill.

All donations stay in the city where they was raised. Money to fund the tour is raised through t-shirt sales. The shirts are sold at www. Pinkfiretrucks.org
