As October comes around again, as we did last year, we’ll be dedicating all of this month’s posts to items to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer is still the most common cancer among women around the world, and the statistics still show that a woman has a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. But chances of survival are improving with awareness, education, early detection, and top researchers. Buying a pink-colored gift and giving it to the special mom, sister, daughter, or friend in your life is a great way to support a wonderful cause and also serve as a reminder about detection.
We’ll be highlighting a number of great new gifts this year, but to kick off the month, let’s take a look at some of the best products from last year which are still available:
Pink Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook
Of course, in addition to purchasing products where a portion goes to a breast cancer charity, please consider making a substantial donation directly to the organization as well.
Please add Cervical Cancer/HPV disease as one of your causes. We get so little press. We suffer too. Please support this cause. Go to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition to learn more.
