In lieu of the 25th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) I wanted to start a post that's full of links to breast cancer sites and other information and ask the community - what are you doing to celebrate this month? Whether you're a survivor or have a loved one that is - October is a month to honor all you've endured and the huge achievement you've made. And while the media sometimes tends to make Breast Cancer seem pink and cheery - it's not called "battling" cancer for nothing. Let's brainstorm ways to honor those who have survived, those who have passed on, and those who continue to fight breast cancer.
