Your heart is in the right place, but your mind isn't. Although I completely agree that other cancers don't get enough support, The place to rally support for them is not at another kind of cancer walk. At best, you will probably confuse anyone who recognizes the colors and their meanings, causing them to wonder if you know which cancer you're supporting today.
At worst, you will come across like a guest at a party who takes over and hogs the spotlight with her drama. I know this is not your intention, but it would rather look like you're saying "Breast Cancer gets too much attention! Everyone should pay attention to MY cause, and not this one!" . Let the breast cancer walk have its day in the sun, and if you really want to help the other cancers, help organize events for them. Don't try to take awareness AWAY from breast cancer, try to raise MORE awareness for other cancers...but not at this event.
