October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month - please take a moment to follow the contributions link for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This is the month to help women in their fight against the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55. It is the most common cancer among women other than skin cancer. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death among women, second only to lung cancer.
For the men out there, did you know that nearly 1,600 men are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and that 400 are predicted to die. So this effects more women, but we men are not immune.
There are many health causes out there and I have those that are important to me. These include Breast Cancer, Diabetes, Crohns Disease along with a few others. Look inside yourself to see what matters to you, then begin helping those causes. This is another key to a full life, to helping others, to impacting others.
"Give time for a worthy cause (with eagerness) and you will be worthy and richly rewarded." - W. Clement Stone
