Think Pink

Today is my mom’s birthday, and I’ve always thought it was fitting that Breast Cancer Awareness month is also in October. She has been a survivor for over 25 years, so this topic has been near and dear to our hearts for most of my life.

We all know someone who has been affected by this awful disease, and the month of October gives us a good reminder to do what we can to support the cause. Whether it be sporting the pink ribbon, wearing pink, purchasing products from companies that donate proceeds to charities benefiting breast cancer awareness, or simply spreading the word, we can all do our part.

Most importantly, don’t forget your monthly self-exams. It could save your life—it saved my mom’s.

Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you!
