[join the fight]

Brace yourself...it's that time of year where everything starts to turn pink! (obviously I don't mind one bit!!) Before you roll your eyes, know that it is for a VERY good cause! Breast cancer awareness is so important in today's day in age. Did you know that ONE woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every THREE minutes in the US? An even scarier statistic is that ONE woman will die because of it every THIRTEEN minutes in the US. The good news is that the survival rate has increased drastically since 1960, but the bad news is, there still is no cure.

However there is hope! With early detection and heightened awareness (thanks to organizations like Susan G. Komen for the Cure) lives are being saved every day. Everyone can help make a difference. Whether you run in the race, donate money, buy pink products, or simply spread the word, every single person reached is one more possibility. I hope that you will share this and the pictures with everyone you know. 







Until next blog...
