It saddens me that every year, this month seems evermore poignant!
Having lost close friends and acquaintances to this dreadful disease over the years, I find myself reflecting deeply on the impact it has had on so many lives.
Each October, I am reminded of the resilience and strength of those who fought so bravely, those who are still fighting, and the communities that rally around them with unwavering support. Along with the sadness and grief, that those left behind have to navigate their way through.
With this in mind we are going to be supporting Wear it Pink on Friday 18th October.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important annual event that aims to educate the public about breast cancer, promote early detection, and raise funds for research. It fosters community support for survivors and individuals currently undergoing treatment, while advocating for the importance of routine screenings and self-examinations.
Not just for the Ladies …
Breast cancer can effect both men and women, although more common in women with 1/7 women being effected at some point in their life. Raising awareness so that we can all be vigilant and aid early detection could save lives. Visit the Nhs website for further information.
