Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Chances are you know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. Generally thought to be only a "woman's issue", we forget that men can develop breast cancer too.

My husband had a tender spot on his breast that thankfully turned out to be just a tender spot. It could have just as easily been cancer.

There are a lot of events throughout the year, but especially during October to raise awarness of breast cancer and also to raise money for research.

I've added a button to my sidebar that will take you to CafePress.

CafePress.com will donate 40% of the retail price of all products sold through the Breast Cancer Donation Shop through October 31, 2006 to a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a core purpose of raising awareness and funding breast cancer research and education.

Go now. Buy something and make a donation at the same time.
