breast cancer awareness
October 13th is recognized as Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, not Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Metastatic breast cancer is the most advanced stage of breast cancer, where cancer has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the specific challenges faced by those living with metastatic breast cancer and to emphasize the need for ongoing research and support for individuals affected by this stage of the disease.
The Breast Cancer store makes breast cancer awareness merchandise. This company is a non-profit and all proceeds go to support breast cancer, which is preferable over for-profit merchandise.
Everyone can help in breast cancer support by donating to breast cancer funds, by participating in Relay for Life activities or by participating in activities and/or funding programs during breast cancer awareness month. If everyone took a little of their time to show support it would help everywhere.
