Purple for RFL

Yesterday (June 1) was Paint Second Life Purple day for Relay for Life (RFL).  RFL is HUGE  in SL it all started about 3 months ago too and will end in a relay in July.  As of today people in SL have donated over $36,000,000.  There are donation kiosks all over the place and many stores put clothes in venders that people can buy and support RFL.

Anyway here is what the website said about yesterday.

On the first day of June, if you are going for a stroll or if you are having a party with friends, wear a purple ribbon, toss on purple clothes, turn your house lavendar even - and yell out to the world that you support the fight in against cancer!

This idea came out of a Relay For Life Group Chat, where the subject was about giving support to those who are in the waiting stage in their fight against cancer, pointing out how hard and scary that part is and how support from others helps so much easy, just knowing others are there.

When Jasmine, Zoie, Tari, Kat, Nikkie, Spaci, Jane - relay volunteers - started talking about how in real life whole towns would turn purple to show support for the fight against cancer; they decided it would be an awesome idea to do the same here in SL. Not everyone has money to give or even time to spend, but everyone can wear purple.

COME ON! Purple Day doesn't cost one red cent or one virtual linden. Instead you have the chance to show your support for the fight against cancer just by helping to turn SL purple.  Let's show RL that we are ONE WORLD and WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER!

Toby got in the action too :)

I am apart of a group for RFL, however I am probably not doing enough to support the group as I should.  I have done RFL in RL and absolutely loved it.
