Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

By Stacy Wells — October 15, 2012

Pink is sweeping the country this October to help support Breast Cancer Awareness Month where the focus is on educating and empowering women to take charge of their breast health. As the second most common cancer for women, it is estimated that one in eight women will face this frightening diagnosis. Looking at the celebrity faces of breast cancer drives home this point. Due to the great work of NBCAM and others, more women are winning this battle due to early detection, prevention efforts and treatments. Want to get involved? You can help by shopping for the cause!
