Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is observed every October to raise awareness about breast cancer, a common and potentially life-threatening disease affecting many people, primarily women. During this month, organizations promote education about breast cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. Activities often include fundraising events, educational campaigns, and community engagements to encourage regular screenings, such as mammograms, which can help detect cancer early. The month also honors those affected by breast cancer, including survivors, patients, and families, fostering support and hope while highlighting the importance of continued research and advocacy in fighting the disease.
