Pink Ribbon Month

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to blogging, but I'm back now.

As most of you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For over FIFTEEN years a pink ribbon is the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Wear a pink ribbon, so that people will ask you what it's all about. Do your self exams. Early detection is the best chance for a long life. If you notice anything strange see your doctor, don't wait.

Pink ribbons spread awareness and are used to raise money to fund research that will lead to a cure.

Another way to raise money to fund research is to purchase the Breast Cancer Postage Stamps from the U.S. Post Office. The cost of the postage stamp includes about $ .06 that goes to Breast Cancer research. The actual cost for each stamp is $ .45, so it is a little more than the regular $ .39 stamp. We always purchase these stamps, and feel proud to put them on our mail.

I'll be back again soon!
