A fleet of pink fire trucks rolled into the Orlando area to draw attention to the fight against cancer and raise valuable dollars for life-saving care and research. The public stopped by to sign the pink fire engines with messages of support in the fight against cancer.
The pink fire trucks are traveling the nation to spread cancer awareness as part of the “Pink Heals Tour.” The tour is manned by professional firefighters in full pink gear who call themselves the “Guardians of the Ribbon.” The pink crew share stories of hope as they visit with those who stop by to sign the trucks.
Local firefighters have partnered with Pink Heals for this free event, hosting fitness challenge games for children and adults, selling pink T-shirts and collecting donations, with proceeds to benefit MD Anderson – Orlando. Pink is the color of the day. Local firefighters sport pink and invite others to wear pink throughout October which is breast cancer awareness month, to show support in the fight against cancer.
