Breast Cancer Awareness Month: What Does That Mean to YOU?
Every October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month brings needed attention to a disease that affects millions. This month aims to spotlight the importance of early detection, screening, and education surrounding breast cancer—a disease that sees more than 2.3 million women diagnosed each year. It is likely that if you are reading this, you or someone you know has fought this disease. For me, it was my Mom. Mom passed away from Parkinson’s disease, not breast cancer, but I learned a lot about this disease going through it with her. Mom fought breast cancer not once, but twice. She was diagnosed for the second time almost 20 years after her first diagnosis, just a few months after I completed a 39 mile walk in honor of her cancer battle.
