October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
|
|
Pink abounds! You see it everywhere, and for good reason! About 1 in every 8 women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer. The best way to fight the disease is to detect it early. This month, please remind the women in your life to create an Early Detection Plan. The National Breast Cancer Foundation has a host of resources to help.
