"Pink Heals" touring Orlando this week

Yes, you are seeing pink!

A fleet of pink fire trucks have rolled into the Orlando area to draw attention to the fight against cancer and raise money for life-saving care and research.

On Tuesday, the public stopped by to sign the pink fire engines with messages of support.

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.”

Local firefighters have joined this free event by hosting fitness challenge games for children and adults, selling pink T-shirts and collecting donations, with proceeds to benefit MD Anderson - Orlando.

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.

"The pink fire trucks are always a huge hit with our patients and staff and once again we had a wonderful turnout to support cancer awareness and those here in Central Florida battling the disease," said Dr. Mark Roh, President, MD Anderson – Orlando.

“We travel the country to bring love and support to women and their families battling cancer. We are truly honored to be able to visit the amazing patients and staff at Orlando Health, and help in their mission of fighting cancer,” said Dave Graybill, Founder, Pink Heals Tour.
