Breast Cancer Awareness Month


There's no intro needed for this post, you and I both know that us ladies (and the 400 men a year that are diagnosed a year too) all need to stick together against the big C and this is the month to show your support thousands of women and men struggling with breast cancer. I just wanted to share a few ways that you can either donate, contribute or show support though out the month of October.

No body realizes but nearly 55,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK.

That's the equivalent to someone being told every 10 minutes 

1 in 8 women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

The second most common death among women is from breast cancer UK and nearly 12,000 people die from it every year.

I just want everyone to realise that life is precious and for some people, they don't get a choice on how they live it as they are just fighting to stay alive. I take my hat off to the people that are brave enough to go through Cancer and it's time we showed those people some support! 

It important to know these facts and its also important to know the signs of breast cancer. This photo was taken from the http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk website where you can find all sorts of information about awareness and how you can help!
