Breast cancer isn't just something that affects other people...it affects everyone. It could be your mother, grandmother, aunt, best friend, or your neighbour. We have all been supporters, care givers, fighters and some even survivors. Breast cancer doesn't discriminate against anyone and it's not gender specific. We have all been touched by Breast Cancer at some point in our lives.
Think pink in October for Breast Cancer Awareness.
