I think “survivor” is extremely appropriate. I lost my mother and aunt within a year of each other, and in a way I feel like the loved ones left behind are also survivors. The name shows strength and power.
Hope
Victoria,
What about Ring Master. Because people living with or dealing with Cancer…
are Fighters and Survivors.

Always Tomorrow…
I think this says it all…hope, faith, strength and the WILL to keep on believing
for a better day is the key to surviving!
“Memento” – We all know someone who has at one time or another battled cancer or lost their life to cancer. This color can be a “memento”, a reminder of those we have lost and a reminder that there is work to be done to find a cure.
I think TaTas is appropriate for both OCC’s style & because of the cause!
I think Desire is a good one.
–verb
to express a wish to obtain
–noun
sexual appetite or a sexual urge.
“courage” or “prevail”
Spring N 2 Survivor
I have two options. 1. BREAST color ever. Pinky browns tend to be everyones favorite shade and everyone loves a good cause there for making this the best color ever. Replacing best with breast refers to the cause =) 2. Second Base. My friend did the Avon 3 day walk a few years ago with her sister who is a survivor and their team name was save second base I always thought it wasd such a cute clever name. Both my choices are light hearted and fun because many people I know who have had breast cancer have told me they like to keep positive and have a good sense humor through the experience. Occ is a fun company so I think the names are fitting too =)
I think Victory is a great name, we want ppl to have victory over the disease, and victory to overcome the stigma of the disease, and claim wellness.
I love the name Esperanza, it means hope in Spanish
1. TLC
2. Warrior
Rosary stick lip tar (hope, prayers, and survival

“Remedios” from Remedios the beauty in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s ‘100 Years of Solitude.
