The best protection is early detection

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month also known as NBCAM for short. The pink ribbon will be visible virtually everywhere to remind women and men to raise awareness about breast cancer.

Pink Ribbon Day (Monday 27th October) is the signature day of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and throughout October the Pink Ribbon Campaign aims to celebrate the achievements of breast cancer research and raise additional funds.
Some of us walk, some of us run, others cook for a cure…if you are looking for a way to share and show your support consider a few of these unique and luxurious PINK ideas. The Thingamaboob is more than just a key chain, it is your key to early detection of breast cancer. It is put out by the Canadian Cancer Society. Each ball on the chain represents the size of a lump that can be detected. As the card with the Thingamaboob says "Be aware. Be proactive. Get the facts." Only certain Provinces in Canada carry the Thingamaboob check out boobagram.cancer.ca/thing-a-ma-boob.asp to see if you can purchase one in your area.
