Join the fight...
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, $1 from each sale of
53 Letters for My
Lover, from October 1st to 31st 2014, will go directly to
Susan G. Komen for The Cure.
What you can do to join the
fight:
Educate yourself about early detection, diagnosis and treatment.
Create an Early Detection
Plan and invite others to do the same.
The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect the disease in its early stages.
Use the
Early Detection Plan to
receive reminders for breast self-exams, and schedule your clinical breast exams and mammograms
based on your age and health history.
Make your own donation.
This month, you will have the opportunity to support many retailers involved with the cause. In
addition to giving indirectly by shopping, you can also make your own contribution to your favorite
charity. Use an independent charity-rating site such as
Charity Navigator to find out about your charity's perfomance, how much of your
money actually goes toward the cause, how much is used for administrative fees etc.
Volunteer, fundraise, discuss, promote!
Get involved with your favorite local charity. Use your social media to educate and raise
awareness.
Look after your body, mind and soul!
Reduce your stress and boost your happy chemicals by eating healthy, getting active and
enjoying the great outdoors. Curling up with your favorite book boyfriends is also a good way to go!
