 There are numerous days throughout a year that are set apart to bring awareness to a particular cause. Pink is the national symbol for Breast Cancer Awareness. Many years ago the pink Ribbon became a national symbol for raising awareness for breast cancer.  Ribbons have been used to show unity for a cause on the part of the wearer with the specific cause since the early to late 20th Century. Pink Ribbons (and the color pink) are used to express support for those who are diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Many forms of pink ribbons are now available. You can make your own very easily and proudly pin it to your blouse.  Early detection is the key to fighting this disease.  You can wear a pink ribbon to show your support and when someone asks you what your thoughts are about this cause, you can encourage your friends to get an annual mammogram.  Education is vital and there are many websites and resources that can help you become informed. I am including this link as a resource that can help you stay informed of the latest developments in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
