This is the most heartwarming thing I’ve seen today. Fracas isn’t just about humour, fracas and fraccers is also about remembering that sometimes people do things that remind us it’s still good to be a human.
Execs over at Medline Industries Inc. thought that if they produced some pink gloves, seeing medical personnel wearing them would prompt discussion about breast cancer, and that ultimately some of the funds generated from their purchase could go towards paying for mammograms for women who couldn’t afford them.
Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Ore., decided to help by making a video and posting it on YouTube.
Enter John McKenzie from ABC News. He saw the video and ABC ran the story. At that time, they note there was over 1.6 million views. As of right now, the views are over 2 million. I’ve found the original version for you to view right here.
I warn you… it will make you smile. That many people willing to dance before the world, regardless of whether they look silly or not, to help someone they might never meet!
Some days you feel like the world is shat. Some days, there are folks who make you forget that.
Even if I never meet anyone who received one of those free mammograms, thank you to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, for making me forget about the shat!
I am getting the goose bumps while watching this vid! (No pun intended…) Thanks for posting this otherwise I wouldn’t have known.
2:35 into the video, the one doctor looks like Truman Capote.
Excellent video. I’m sending this to my sister, 15 years and counting after breast cancer.
