Early September of this year, lasting until October 31st you may have noticed many people all over Second life wearing grey colors more often than normal. The grid went grey to support Brain Cancer Awareness. Wear Grey for A Day is an event in real life that happens every year on September 18th which people all over will wear grey clothing to support brain cancer awareness. Sanura Snowpaw herd about this event within a week of losing her cousin to fought brain cancer for nearly ten years, and decided to make her own grey clothing here in Second life to show her support.

Her simple idea of simply handing out the T-Shirt and a notecard about Brain Cancer started to really spread throughout the grid. “It grew beyond my wildest imagination” says Sanura. She had Second life bloggers posting about it, and all types of different people asking her what they could do to help. Sanura and several others worked hard to send out packages with information to designers all over asking them to help by creating an item to be put up for sale with part of the money made going to the alt she created, Wear Gray Button, to donate to help promote brain cancer awareness.

Over 40 designers joined in for this cause, all with items for sale in their store to donate. Someone even donated their sim to them for the cause where they had several events including a fashion show showing off all the designs. After contacting several Brain Cancer organizations with no response she decided to donate the $800USD made to the American Cancer Society. Sanura feels she really helped to spread awareness of Brain cancer to people all over the world. “I know I had a great many who came to me just to say thank you and share their stories and those alone were worth every moment I spent on Wear Gray”

With Wear Grey being such a huge success she plans on continuing this and making it an annual thing every year. In the mean time Sanura has her Wear Grey T-Shirts still available in her shop *Dreams* she also still makes donations with the money that is still being made on her alt Wear Gray Button and there are American Cancer Society kiosks set up here in Second life to make a direct donation. “Talk about it the more people aware of it the better with knowledge, heart, love, and compassion we can win the battle against all cancers.”
