share: Ways to become involved with the cause of Breast Cancer Awareness
October is National Breast Cancer awareness month, so all month long there are opportunities to raise your own BC IQ and enlighten others.
40,000 women in the United States died from breast cancer last year.
There is no cure for breast cancer. There is no definitive cause for breast cancer. You know you are cured from breast cancer when you die of something else. The top two causes for breast cancer are being a woman and having too many birthdays. Research is encouraging, but slow. The question remains:
Will you see a cure for breast cancer in your lifetime? In your daughter’s?
Here are a few things you can do to make a world with-out breast cancer, one day closer.
1. Schedule your mammogram
2. Encourage some one who has not got a mammogram to schedule it
October 16th is National Mammography Day
3. Donate to the Susan G Komen for the Cure, or any BC charity

4. October 2, 2009 is Lee National Denim Day. Wear jeans, and donate $5.00

5. Join the Army of Women. Dr. Susan Love and Avon look for the Cause.

6. Shop with companies that donate to breast cancer research. Such as;

and many more. Be a conscientious consumer.

September 29, 2009 - 5:12pmThank you for providing so much information on the ways we can support ourselves and other women in learning more about breast cancer and working towards a cure. I know many people have their own individual ways of participating in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I invite other EmpowHer members to share, share, share your thoughts and great ideas.
Take good care,
Pat
