It’s almost that time of year again. Every year, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

My grandmother was a breast cancer survivor. I still remember standing in her hospital room and watching as she lifted up her gown to show the bright red scar criss-crossed with staples where her breast used to be.

I think she was almost proud of that scar. It was like a tribute to one more thing in her life that she had survived.

Because of her, I am an avid supporter of breast cancer awareness and research.

I want to encourage each of you to visit www.thebreastcancersite.com and sign up for daily emails reminding you to click to give. Each time someone clicks, the site sponsors will help underprivileged women receive a free mammogram.

They also have free emails that you can send. There is one, the “Fund Research Free” ecard that will help fund breast cancer research each time it’s opened.

If you have a little extra money, go to the shop they have on their website and purchase items to show your support. They have items starting at just $2.00 and each purchase you make helps fund additional mammograms.

It’s a great way to help out. Please, check out their website and click to give someone a free mammogram.

And don’t forget to schedule your own mammogram and/or do a self examination!
