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!
