October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. It is an annual health campaign organized by different breast cancer charities to increase awareness of the disease. These charities raise funds by organizing activities for breast cancer research, raise breast cancer awareness and provide breast screening services.
Educate yourself about breast cancer and share what you have learned with others. Learn about breast cancer prevention, early detection, stages of breast cancer and many more.
Support breast cancer research by donating to breast cancer charities or organizations of your choice.
Purchase breast cancer awareness products. A portion of proceeds from the sale will be donated to breast cancer research organizations. I have been purchasing Pink Ribbon products for over four years now. The first item I purchased was a Lilly Pulitzer scarf, followed by small items like Pink Ribbon sticky note pad, coffee thermos, 4 pairs of socks, badge pin, notepads, etc. This is a simple and easy way to raise breast cancer awareness.
Get involved in breast cancer awareness month by joining breast cancer walks. Check out event schedule in your area.
Support other breast cancer awareness sites such as thebreastcancersite.com. This site’s sponsors will fund free mammograms just by visitors’ daily click.
