Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As you are aware, October is breast cancer awareness month.

If you are looking for a great charity to donate to or participate in, I suggest Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, supported by the American Cancer Society.

Direct from their website:

"Every Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is a powerful and inspiring opportunity to unite as a community to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about steps we can take to reduce our risk of getting breast cancer, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with breast cancer research, information and services, and access to mammograms for women who need them. Since Making Strides began 20 years ago, breast cancer death rates have declined more than 32 percent."

You can donate directly through their website or get involved personally by participating in one of their walks.  Find a walk near you at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

You may be able to find a local fundraising event in your area as well.  One of my friends is hosting a Pampered Chef Fundraiser where up to 30% of the sales will be donated.  I'm sure there are many more like this in your area.

Get Involved!  Think Pink!
