October is finally here and aside from the arrival of gorgeous fall leaves, it’s also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an “annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.” It’s so important to help raise awareness for this cause, which is why I’m sharing some easy ways to support fundraising for it. This is just a small start, but every little bit helps.
From sharing educational tools, to encouraging friends and family to conduct self-breast exams and head to their doctor for an annual exam, there are many ways to make donations in support of this incredible cause. Here’s a look at some of our favorite companies who are thinking pink all month long.
Motives® is joining forces with Earlier.org to help fight breast cancer with the limited-edition hand lotion, Touch of Hope. A super-hydrating lotion that smoothes rough, dry hands, this formula is ideal for men and women alike. Included with the purchase of Touch of Hope is a breast self-exam card that serves as a reminder to conduct monthly self-exams, a vital step in discovering breast cancer in its early stages.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds from purchasing Motives Touch of Hope and Isotonix OPC-3® Beauty Blend during the month of October will go to Earlier.org to help fight breast cancer. Join the fight now!
