Cancer Awareness for August – Appendiceal Cancer

The official ribbon color for appendix cancer is amber, and wearing an amber ribbon is a way to show support for people battling the disease. August is Appendix Cancer Awareness Month, and organizations like the Appendix Cancer Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Research Foundation (ACPMP) use the ribbon to raise awareness and solidarity, and to support those affected by the disease.
