October is ?Breast Cancer Awareness Month?. Unfortunately barely any of us remember this. But breast cancer is a very real and deadly disease that impacts around 200,000 women in a one year. A few are lucky enough to be able to overcome it. Yet, the bulk of these woman do not have the power to fight it off.

The only way that we may be able to really show our support to these women is to express to them we care for them. We can also donate money to an organization that works towards breast cancer research and a new cure. Every year the Susan G. Komen foundation puts together a 5k, 10k, marathon, and ultra marathon races. Thousands of cancer survivors and supporters of cancer patients come together and express their support.

There are some women thatdo not have the power to make it to these races because they are not in the area and have no way of driving to it. Others have the ability to go to these races - but feel that they wish to do more. If you have this desire than you need to consider putting together a breast cancer fundraiser.

You can show your support in your hometown and bring women of all ages together by holding a fundraiser. During this fundraiser you can show them a bit of noteworthy info about what breast cancer is and how it can touch millions of women each year. Endeavor to find a woman who is combating breast cancer or who has overcome it to speak to the other women. She can talk of her struggles and implore them how essential it is to receive frequent testings with their physicians in order to discover the cancer early in the stage.

There are lots of fundraising activities that you can have and don't forget the food and drinks. The best way to raise money is to produce unique items that people will want to buy. You can sell pins, hats, and shirts with the symbol of breast cancer awareness on them. Or you can be constructive and create gloves, scarves, and other items that have the symbol sewn into it. All of the money that is raised can go to breast cancer research.

With the help of friends and family you can be able to increase awareness of breast cancer to the women in your area. Aid to show them how serious it is receive frequent examinations and to help and show their support to other women who are afflicted by this lethal disease.
