TheCoIorRed Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm pretty close to tears. I noticed another player wearing an orange ribbon. I assumed it had to do with the flooding in Texas and was excited to show my support. But it turns out it was for leukemia. The cancer I've been fighting for 3 and a half years. I finish treatment on September 25 and I've just receaved my last treatment from my port yesterday. There are no words to describe how amazing it feels to see support like this from one of my favorite games. Thank you. Really, thank you for this. I will be praying for whatever member of the team that may be going through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6K6L Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 On 8/30/2017 at 10:49 AM, [DE]Rebecca said: Help us support those with Leukemia. This September we're introducing an item to the Warframe community that tells a story. A wearable orange ribbon - signifying Leukemia awareness month - will be given to all players with the option to equip it and show support in game. Why? Cancer is a devastating disease - even more-so when support is unavailable to those suffering. At Digital Extremes we've committed to learning everything we can about helping those with Leukemia as it is a cancer that has hit very close to home. This month we're asking you to show your support and spread awareness about helping organizations support those with Leukemia. Wearing this ribbon will do just that. If you're able, we're also setting up a DE team for the Light The Night Walk on October 14 in our hometown of London Ontario. As a company we are matching any donations made to our team. Tenno, we ask you to consider supporting one of our own however you can. Your Harmony Ribbon is waiting for the month of September in-game and will be removed when September ends. All you have to do is log in starting September 1st at 11 a.m ET. Our team:https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?langPref=en-CA&TSID=789140 Further Reading:http://www.llscanada.org/leukemia Thank you, Tenno! This is truly awesome! Being a cancer survivor myself, I can't tell you just how helpful it is to spread awareness of all forms of cancer. It helps to fund organizations like the American Cancer Society and the brain tumor foundation so that they can continue their research for finding a cure, and especially for assisting those who are already going through the ravages of this terrible disease. Thank you developers and other Warframe personnel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Crazy_Jay58 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 why take it away at the end of the month when we could keep it year-round and change the color to suport other causes we suport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HylianDefender Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I will wear this ribbon not only in support of all those who are fighting cancer, but to those who died from it. May they find eternal peace. I will always remember you, Kitty0706. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aszfaulk Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I've dealt a lot with cancer in the family. Nobody with leukemia, but I know too many people who've had to suffer through cancer, and are still suffering. I really hope you guys decide not to remove the ribbon at the end of the month, because I'll seriously put it on all of my frames and never take it off.

MrShooter Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 1 hour ago, The_soldier_of_no_Sorrow said: a. Who has the most money to loose from the practice being proven to work? (The organizations that exist because of the disease, why would they want to prove that it works? for your perspective the cost for treatment for one persons cancer is tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, multiplied by every one who has cancer on the planet and is in treatment for it. That's quite a lot of Grofit if I do say so myself...) Who has money to gain from convincing the vulnerable and desperate to buy tools, books, and supplements for these "natural" remedies? Who is gaining by telling you they are the only ones you can trust, that the rest of the world is a conspiracy against you? That you should turn away from doctors and professionals, who are all in on it? Who is gaining by telling you to "do your own research", yet immediately warn you away from "untrustworthy" government and medical journals, giving you a bias before you even begin, gently guiding you towards fringe sources to discover their "hidden truth"? Who is gaining by telling you they have something the conspiracy doesn't want you to have or know about, and that you should outwit the conspiracy by buying that thing? Follow your own advice; follow the money. You just may find a new bleak truth, if you have the strength to face it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunseahl Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Am I the only person in existence that's insanely confused by this promotion? -You say this ribbon comes with a story, but you don't give us one. You explicitly say this impacts your studio in some way, "hits very close to home," but you don't say anything more. -You want us to know you're doing a real life cancer walk and matching donations for people who donate to the event team.... After you've taken away the ribbon, in game. -You want us to go donate to your team.... when you could donate portions of plat sales for the month of September(the awareness month) on top of any donations to your team walk(which, again, takes place after september). I'm all for good causes, i'm just honestly confused about the execution of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaatinen Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I would love to donate, but how can I actually do it? I can't walk for leukemia in a Canadian walk, since I'm all the way in Estonia, but can I just donate some amount somehow somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOINCOGNITO Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Thank You DE, My boys love watching me play Warframe. This year my youngest was diagnosed with leukemia.
