In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this weeks pins are dedicated to all things PINK!
October is dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer and educating both men and women on the causes, prevention, treatment and cure of the disease. “About 1 in 8 women in the United States (12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime”.
