Breast Cancer
Awareness Month
Join us in the fight against breast cancer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month, many people are getting involved in the fight against breast cancer by donating money and giving their time to drive awareness. People often adopt the color pink and display pink ribbons in "Pink October" to bring attention to the disease.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, with more than 1.7 million new cases being diagnosed every year across the globe and one-in-eight women developing breast cancer at some point in their life. It's also one of the leading causes of death among women globally with over 450,000 deaths every year due to breast cancer-related complications.
Early detection is paramount in the fight against breast cancer so it's important to check yourself regularly and get mammograms and checkups annually.
