WHAT is the color of hope? Are the markers of hope easily identifiable, specific in nature, symbols, colors or types? Can specific persons or acts be "The Color of Hope"?

I venture to say, “The Color of Hope” is not a single color, but the blending of hues, that when joined characterize LOVE.” “The Color of Hope” is an act of kindness, encouraging word or hand on the shoulder that tells someone they are not alone.

“The Color of Hope” is seen in the eyes of those waiting for test results that may alter their lives forever. It is in the words of the DOCTORS who must explain to a patient the nature of their illness, treatment plan or life expectancy. It is a deep desire for a cure from this debilitating disease, and not only by those afflicted with it but for future generations to come. It is living with the expectation that research will bring a cure on tomorrow and that you will be alive to benefit from that cure.

“The Color of Hope” is seen in the strength displayed by those yet in this fight for life, and the foot supporters and researchers have placed on the throat of this monster known as cancer.

"The Color of Hope" is a support system that includes prayer. It extends from one person to another or others.
