Pink It Up

If you don’t already know, this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer strikes more women in the world than any other type of cancer except skin cancer, and today, a woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is 1 in 8. This is certainly no trivial matter, and everyone from Barack Obama to Hillary Duff have actively voiced their support for the fight against breast cancer.

The initiatives that seek to raise awareness are many, and include, for example, Oprah’s touching interview with Christina Applegate this past Tuesday, during which they discussed Christina’s battle with this sickness and her double mastectomy ordeal.

Another initiative is one that has been promoted by Breakthrough Breast Cancer, which has recently launched its Pink Your Party campaign that encourages people to have a party, turn it pink and have fun while raising vital funds for Breakthrough’s research, campaigning and education work.

So this month, make sure you make it a point to party out and go pink.
