Why Violet Ribbon for Hodgkins Lymphoma?
In 2001, the non-profit organization Curehodgkins.com’s committee adopted the color Violet to unite and represent those specifically afflicted with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma aka Hodgkin’s Disease. Although there have been some debates as to which color truly symbolizes Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, we concur with curehodgkins.com adoption of violet to represent Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in honor of the late founder for an official symbol of unification for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma patients, survivors and their families.
