Here we are on the first Monday of October. October means apple picking, pumpkin hunting, colored leaves and cooler temperatures. October is also a time when we recognize the need for continuing research and early detection of Breast Cancer.
Breast Cancer has affected almost everyone I know either directly or impacted the life of a close friend or relative. The facts are that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. I know many women who are fighting the fight right now. They are longing to hear the words "Cancer free" or you are in remission. They are hanging on hoping for a cure.
So as the month is beginning ladies make sure you have taken the time for a breast self exam. Here is a link to the Mary Kay Foundation's self exam PDF to remind you of the procedure. If you have not had a mammogram or have not had one in a while get on the phone and schedule one. And find a way to help others through spreading awareness.
This month I am donating 5 % of all my sales to the Mary Kay Foundation. The dual mission of the foundation is to provide funding for research into finding cures for cancers that affect women and assisting women and children who are victims of domestic violence. Click on this link to see the recipients of the 2010 grants for research into these cancers from the Mary Kay Foundation.
Here's hoping you have a great October and that the research being conducted throughout the country will result in the cure we are all praying for.
