October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Every Story Is Unique and Every Journey Matters
October is Breast CancerAwareness Month, an annual campaign to help raise awareness of breast cancer, educate the public about its symptoms and prevention, and fund research into its causes, treatment, and cure. It is not only celebrated in the United States, but is internationally recognized as a time to promote education around breast cancer. Also, this can be a time to reflect, honor those who were lost, and celebrate the millions who have survived.
Be a champion for breast cancer awareness. Share your story on the health & wellness Facebook page to inspire and fight!
