| Pink Heals to tour county | | Posted: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 12:00 pm
| | The Pink Heals Organization, a group devoted to expanding the color pink to be used as a symbol to honor women battling against all types of cancer and other health issues, will tour Weakley County Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
In addition to the pink fire trucks, each fire department in the county will be providing a piece of equipment and a driver to show support for the Pink Heals. The police departments in Greenfield, Sharon, Martin, Dresden and Gleason will escort the engines into their respective cities.
“We drive hundreds of miles at a time, carrying these signatures of very special people, mostly women, some men and a few children,” said Dave Graybill, founder of the Pink Heals. “We are just drivers with a special message – a message from them to all of us who’ve not fought this battle yet.
“Men, doing what men should do, honoring, protecting and standing up to anything that might harm our women and children,” Graybill said. “Defending them at all costs, making a statement of true love and hope by coming together as a unified front, wearing her color with pride and letting the world know that we stand ready for war against this disease we call cancer.”
