Maybe instead of being negative about someone trying to do something good for a cause that you apparently believe gets enough attention already (is such a thing even possible?) you could try to advocate for those impacted by any or all of the other forms of cancer? You care enough to complain about BRCA awareness, why not channel that energy into a positive force instead? Nothing is stopping you from starting a campaign in support of the people affected by the types of cancers that have touched your life.

To the topic at hand: I went pink as well and have been handing out dye (great idea, OP) when I have the chance.
