Are we taking to answering our own questions now? Ha, ha. Just joking, hey. Very interesting info, Coral. Thanks for the link.
A rock group called My Chemical Romance, held a huge open-air concert in NZ to raise money for this concern. It was a tremendous success. You can also buy bandanas to support kids with cancer, and everyone celebrates ”Bandana Day” which will be on 31st October, 2008. It’s great when a country of people unite for a good cause.
Nice one Coral
