While the month of October doesn't have a so-called Major Holiday (unless you're one of the many that count Halloween, LOL) it is a big month for causes. October is awareness month for Autism, Domestic Abuse and Breast Cancer.
With so many women and men (yes, men have been
diagnosed with Breast Cancer too, including the actor Richard Roundtree) being
diagnosed every day, the disease of breast cancer is a national epidemic. By
raising awareness we try to educate the masses. Then more and more people are
tested and in many cases early detection is the key to treatment,
remission and eventually a cure.
Breast cancer advocates come in many
forms. Some raise money for research. Only through years and years of constant
research and drug development will a cure be found. With thousands and
thousands of public and private donations and support researchers have
identified new forms of treatments and even genes which are responsible for the
cause of many cancers. Many lobby congress for better care and more knowledge
throughout communities. Only through knowledge and education will the general
public be informed with the signs and symptoms of cancer, and the importance of
early detection. Nutrition is also an important aspect in the treatment and
cure of cancer. There are also Amazon Coupons which can be
used to save you money on many products and support Breast Cancer Awareness.
The color Pink has been adopted and
is recognized and accepted as the "official color"
of Breast Cancer Awareness. Many celebrities, sports figures and national
brands support and promote breast cancer awareness by wearing pink clothing and
gear.
Because so many people are involved
with the support and promotion of Breast Cancer Awareness, it is easy for the
rest of us to also show our support. Many food brands have on their labels if
you buy their products they will donate proceeds of their profits to various
breast cancer non-profits. Another option is Breast Cancer Awareness Coupons.
Lets all do our part to find a cure for Breast Cancer.
