Two summers ago a group of women who were preparing for a charity walk for breast cancer met to decide their team name. One of the participants (a mother of five and stage four cancer patient) tossed out an idea: how about “Save 2nd base,” a playful allusion to the high school system where the “bases” signify the progression from kissing to sex. Remember that expression? She designed a T shirt, drawing two baseballs at breast level above the slogan. The shirts sold like wildfire, and are in boutiques all over the east coast with money donated to breast cancer charities. Who says that cancer can’t turn something devastating into a good thing?
