There's nothing more
stylish than caring. October brings the
quest for a cure
to the spotlight through Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to
NABCO statistics, in the United States, Breast cancer is the most
common form of cancer in women after skin cancer. Based on the current life expectancy for women in the United States, NABCO projects one out of nine women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime and in 2003 a new case will be diagnosed every two and a half minutes. Get yourself a mammogram, be an advocate for early detection, and do what you can to help find a cure. Think pink, it's the color of hope! |
