Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is observed during the month of October. The statistic one in eight is often cited as a lifetime risk of diagnosis. Thousands of people took part in the recent Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Race for the Cure, evidence of how many lives are touched by breast cancer; perhaps yours is one of them. Another walk, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, is being held Saturday, October 14.
We have put together an online resource guide to provide access to books, videos, pamphlets, and web sites, as well as to local and national organizations dealing with breast cancer. Let us know if you find this helpful. If you happen to be in the Main Library downtown during October, stop by the Breast Cancer display on 1K where we have books to check out and free informational items.
