Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As the month comes to an end I want everyone to remember to be aware of the dangers of Breast Cancer, remember it affects women as well as men. I played the entire month with my pink Susan Coleman Capo trying to do my part in raising any awareness.

In 2005 (the most recent year numbers are available)—

186,467 women and 1,764 men were diagnosed with breast cancer.*†
41,116 women and 375 men died from breast cancer.*†
