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 for women.
Thousands of people took part in the recent 10th anniversary Race for the Cure sponsored by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, 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 on Saturday, October 20 and is open for participants.
At GRPL 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.
