GET INVOLVED

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
GET INVOLVED

Volunteer, walk, run, donate
Everything you do makes a difference!

In the last 10 years there was 1 member of my family & 7 friends of mine, 8 people that I know, diagnosed with breast cancer.
When I think about what numbers like that mean in
the BIG PICTURE
it’s really beyond frightening.
According to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure website 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected to occur among women in the U.S in 2008. Globally more than 25 million people have been diagnosed and 10 million could die in the next 25 years without the cures.
Early detection is important!
Call your doctor and schedule your annual screening today!
