Every year Blogography turns pink for October in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
As always, the key to survival is early detection. It's been said a million times, but here it is again... find out how to do a breast self-exam from a health care professional and perform a self-exam every month. Women in their 20's and 30's should also have a professional exam performed every 3 years (women over 40 should have a mammogram and professional exam performed every year). If you're not taking these steps, then start today. If not for yourself, for the people who love you. People like me!
Breast cancer has never been more survivable, so it's important to leave fear behind and educate yourself if you haven't already.

Thanks for going pink! I lost my mama 26 years ago to this awful disease…much too young (for her and me!).
Much appreciate the pink blog and efforts. My wife’s mom died of breast cancer back in 1998 and I know we donate to the cause through various sources on at least an annual basis.
I don’t have anything pink to wear, but I could figure out how to make my blog pink, even if it’s for the rest of October.
