Default October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Not sure if that's the official title, but just wanted to make sure everyone's aware of this. Cancer is such a terrifying word to me, as I'm sure it is to all of you as well. I really hope there is some type of cure soon, or at least some advancement that gets us closer to the cure. I hate to see people suffer

It is indeed a horrible disease but there are a lot of studies aiming to find a cure for it. I have high hopes that this will not be something that we will be terrified with in the next decade or so. Technology is advancing rapidly and we know more about cancer than we did 20 years ago.

Is it?? Aw, I remember my grandmother died of breast cancer. It is really sad that there is no treatment for the disease at the moment. I hope that there will be cure very soon...

My great grandmother died of breast cancer. It was a very different time then when she died, and I don't think that people were even thinking about looking for a cure. It's just a shame for all of the people in the past who didn't have people trying to raise money for the cause. Don't forget to donate everyone!

There are some cool sites. Gosh.. I wish I could remember what they were. I ran across them randomly one day. Apparently everyone who views the pages, there is an amount of money donated. There's a site that donated to so many different causes: hunger, breast cancer, animals.. etc. I thought it was pretty neat

There are plenty of other ways to donate to the cause. You can donate at the cash register of a local grocery store and buy products that donate profits toward research of a cure. I like to donate money, but one day, I'd like to ride my bike in a marathon for a cure of something.
