October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. We all should do something to help support the fight against cancer. Almost everyone is affected some way from cancer. No matter you are currently fighting, a survivor, or relative of someone who is affected by cancer, you can make a difference. Please support the fight by going out and giving to a worthy charity, volunteer for a charity, and/or show your pride by sporting clothing that brings awareness to cancer. It's now time to stand up and fight. Thank you!
