October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. There are plenty of ways to support the cause! One way is wearing pink, which has become a major symbol of the cause as it allows people to show their compassion, courage, and remembrance without saying a word.
So it’s time to pull out your pink gear and support Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
