During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month think Pink!
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women but it affects men as well. It affects everyone, if not directly than indirectly through family or friends. You will see a lot of pink this month from light crimson hues to pale reddish purple, all shades to stimulate awareness and support in solidarity for a cure. Many also wear pink to remember. I am sure you will be hit this month with all sorts of harsh realities and statistics but I opt instead to concentrate on the progress. Survival rates have jumped almost 2 percent per year since 1990. Foundations, such as Susan G Komen for the Cure and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, that contribute to awareness and support for a treatment, research and a cure, have gained corporate sponsors for funding at a greater level. One of those corporate sponsors is New Balance and their Lace Up for the Cure Collection®. For 19 years New Balance and Susan G Komen for the Cure have been working together to end breast cancer forever. In fact New Balance is the longest running sponsor of the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure series, contributing more than $6 million since 1989.
