Breast Cancer Awareness month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Next Month is Breast Cancer month so lots of your old favourites are going pink in order to raise awareness and funds dedicated to awareness of breast cancer, research and helping women of all ages in support and help. You can contribute by donating to the cause either by monetary donations via the websites below or by simply purchasing any of these goods below. You could even help in a major way by having a fundraiser and create money to create awareness of this horrible disease and to defeat it. Together we can make a change as many of us have already seen in our lives. We still have a long way to go until the day comes when no woman or man will die from this, but we are getting there. So please help this worthy cause today. You never know who it could hit next!

You can help to prevent the spread of disease by making sure you undergo regular mammograms as you approach the appropriate age or earlier should it unfortunately occur in your family medical history. The government supports free mammograms to those over 55, so if you have a parent, aunt, grandparent, or even yourself, please urge these people to get one asap! It could save their lives!
