Junior Lexi Starr wears pink in honor of breast cancer awareness

Junior Lexi Starr wears pink in honor of breast cancer awareness

Every day of October, junior Lexi Starr wore pink to support breast cancer awareness.

Starr says wearing pink reminds her of what her family went through.

“[My mom’s battle with breast cancer] has made me a stronger person,” Starr said. “Wearing pink is just a symbol of everything that my mom has endured and everything my family has endured.”

With her decision to wear pink, Starr came to the dilemma of whether or not she could find enough pink outfits to wear.

“For me, it is not that hard because [about] 60 percent of my wardrobe is pink,” Starr said. “But it is hard sometimes when you try not to wear the same thing every day. My mom is also wearing pink every day too, so if I don’t have pink one day, then she will go out and buy me something or I’ll wear something of hers.”

Starr’s mother has a foundation, called Survivor’s Foundation, that did a campaign called Commit to Pink on Saturday, Oct. 20. In Commit to Pink, members of the foundation stood outside of businesses such as Walgreens and collected donations. They also did another event on Sunday, Oct. 21 called Cruising for a Cause, for which bikers rode around Kansas City for breast cancer.

Starr says that dedicating a whole month to breast cancer is a good cause.

“I think [dedicating a whole month to breast cancer] is amazing because there are so many people affected by it,” Starr said. “Having a whole month dedicated to women or men that went through breast cancer is awesome.”
