Breast Cancer Awareness Write-Off
Sep 26 '07 (Updated Oct 31 '07)
The Bottom Line October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Join this write-off to help make others aware!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
One in eight women either has or will develop breast cancer in her life. More than 1.7 million people who have had breast cancer in the US are still living. My grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago and had a mastectomy. She is still living :) Like many of you out there, I'm sure, breast cancer has stricken women in my family through the generations.
Awareness and early detection are the best weapons in the fight against breast cancer. Get yourself (or remind the ladies you know) a mammogram and perform self-exams as well to help catch it early.
I haven't ever hosted a write-off, so any comments you have for me are definitely welcome :) Here goes:
I encourage you all out there in epinion-land to write a review that relates to breast cancer, breast cancer awareness, and breast health.
Some ideas:
-Find a product whose company donates part of their proceeds towards breast cancer research
-Review a website whose proceeds benefit breast cancer research
-Review books, movies, magazines, and other media that has something to do with breast cancer
-Write a writer's corner piece about breast cancer, possibly how it has affected you or someone you know
-You get the idea!
Please reference this write-off in your review. This write-off will go from now until the end of October, however, I will still add entries if I keep receiving them.
Email me with a link to your epinion (at lea_ander@yahoo.com with an obvious subject, please, to avoid accidental filtering) or leave a comment here with a link. I will post links to the breast cancer pieces here on this review as frequently as I am able.
Also, from epinions: Support the fight against Breast Cancer and join the October 2007 First Review Sweepstakes Write-off. Why not do both?
