    I think that black and white day is a great idea because it raises money to help find a cure for this horrible disease and it also creates awarness. I hope that enough money can be raised to help save the tassie devil from extintion.

    I’ve donated $2 for the Tasmanian Devils and am wearing black and white. I hope someone can find out how to cure the cancer for them. I really dont want them to be extinct, just like the Tasmanian Tigers. So everyone should at least donate a gold coin to help the mascot of Tasmania. please donate!
