October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month.  This is a great time of the year to go get that mammogram you’ve putting off or to donate to a breast cancer fund, like the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

Delta Airlines is raising awareness on their filghts.  They are selling pink lemonade for two dollars a glass.  All profits will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Along with selling pink lemonade, all Delta employees are representing the pink ribbon, or wearing pink scarves, neck ties or decorative pink pocket squares.

Grocery stores are shelving items that when bought, donate a certain amount of the proceeds to breast cancer research funds.  All over, donation centers are set up waiting to receive even just one dollar per person.  

Raising breast cancer awareness and education is as important as raising funds for research and treatment. 

Since 1990, the death rate from breast cancer has dropped by at least 2 percent each year.  It is becoming more survivable through early detection.  Take this opportunity to raise awareness to others, or yourself, and get an examination today.
