Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Its October so lets paint the town pink and help aid in those who have suffered breast cancer and the research and development to continue to save the lives of those diagnosed and to provide early detection.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, it is estimated that 200,000 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer each year. The evaluation of men with breast masses is nearly close to that number as well. Breast cancer can affect, me, you, your/our: Grandma, Sister, Dad, Mother, Aunt, Brother, Best Friend, Neighbor. The list goes on of who could potentially be affect by this terrible disease.
Knowing these facts, there are many things big and small that you can do to help those affected and the future development for more cures.
I wanted to make a special post and dedicate it to the many survivors I know, you know who you are, are were so brave to battle this disease and I will do all I can to try to help with this foundation and its study.

Many companies such as NFL, Columbia, Philosophy, to name a few,  have teamed up with the Susan Koman foundation and the National Breast Cancer Foundation to give opportunity to help make a difference. Here are 5 easy ways you can help too!

1.) Dannon Yogurt. On specially marked Dannon yogurts, under the peel away top is a site (click here) with directions and a code provided by NBCF. Go to the site, enter your code and wa-la you have just donated 10 cents!! You have helped!! Just by buying yogurt you have provided a donation to helping others. This is completely priceless!

2.) Athletic Wear. Dick Sporting Goods has teamed up with NBCF to provide awesome pink athletic wear to help raise awareness with them and support them for the large donation they make yearly to the foundation! A bonus, order something pink and you get FREE shipping! Wahoo!

3.) Sephora. One of my other favorite go to sites for all things beauty related has teamed up to provide several pink options to you! I've chosen my favorite that is a Perfect Pink Brush Set complete with a travel size bag. It's value is $150.00 but now sold at $60.00. BARGIN! Not to mention super cute! For each one sold, $1 is donated to the NBCF!

5.) National Breast Cancer Foundation. Last but for sure not the least is the foundation it self. There are multiple ways to help there. Donations, Volunteering, Fundraising, Partnering, etc. Go directly to their site, explore and learn. At the very least educate yourself on Breast Cancer. Help save a life, or your own. :)
