Each year, it’s estimated that nearly 200,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. And while studies show we’re getting better at early detection and treatment, there’s still a lot that can be done to beat the disease. You can do your part during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by taking part in a breast cancer awareness event, such as Boobyball in Toronto, or invest in one of the following breast cancer awareness products. Proceeds go towards research and awareness efforts to fight breast cancer.
