Description
Don't hate me for dressing up Wonder Woman in pink. It's for breast cancer awareness!* About 1 in 8 women in the United States (12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
* In 2010, there were more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.
* A woman’s risk of breast cancer approximately doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. About 20-30% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of breast cancer.
* About 70-80% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. These occur due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general, rather than inherited mutations.

I saw someone had painted an Optimus Prime and Ironhide figure different shade of pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. Even Cybertron is stepping up. Great cause.
