October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Saturday October 1, 2005
October kicks off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month we spread the word about breast cancer to women and men, and encourage awareness about the disease. You will find that you see more pink ribbons around town and ads for low cost or free mammograms. Please take this time to support the fight against breast cancer, whether it is monetarily, or by reminding friends to check their breasts and get mammograms.
