As many of you may know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I wanted to take some time to give you a little info on breast cancer and an easy way to help fight this disease. Dannon and the National Breast Cancer Foundation have teamed up in an effort to raise $1.5 million for breast cancer education and support services. On the tops of Dannon products, you can find a code that can be entered online at http://www.cupsofhope.com/. Each time you enter a code, 10 cents will go towards this goal. Even if the goal is not reached, a guaranteed $500,000 will be donated by Dannon.
Some controllable risk factors that you can control yourself are being obese or overweight, lack of physical activity, a diet high in saturated fat, and having more than 2 alcoholic drinks a day.

I am glad to see your educating people on breast cancer. Many try to disregard this disease until it affects them either directly or indirectly. I know I can relate having a very close family member with breast cancer and the past 2 years have been a grueling struggle. It is important people know about this disease.
ReplyDeleteBreast Cancer is such a popular topic, however, I do not often hear about ways to help prevent it. My great grandmother had breast cancer and it was a difficult struggle for her. Since then, I have taken the disease more seriously and get checked regularly. I think it's a great thing that Dannon is teaming up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to help raise money. I also think it's great that you are adding what you can do to help prevent it yourself.
