alright ladies (and gentlemen) i feel the need to vocalize...
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and breast cancer is growing eerily common. Each year, 182,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 43,300 die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
**In addition, 1,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 400 will die this year.
as you can see the statistics are horrifying. So make sure this month you go out and support the breast cancer cause. Buy the pink m+m's, donate to Susan Komen Foundation or other places or just wear pink as support. This cause is near and dear to my heart as my mom is a breast cancer survivor (coming up on three years).
ere go...make sure you do your breast exams...or even have your bf do them...(im sure he'd enjoy it! then you can return the favor when its testicular cancer awareness)
