Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is breast cancer awareness month.  This disease has affected countless people either themselves having the disease or by it having affected a loved one.  Breast Cancer Awareness helps to keep this deadly disease in the forefront to accomplish numerous things.   You can wear pink, wear breast cancer awareness buttons or T-shrits or even display a Breast Cancer Awareness Garden Flag.

One purpose is to educate.  To point out both risk factors and steps toward prevention.  I just learned that just simple physical exercise is one of those prevention methods.  I read that just three hours of exercise a week helps to boost the immune system which helps to fight off this disease.  Another important purpose of  Awareness Month is to remind women to get their mammograms and routinely do self exams.  It is so easy to forget these things in our busy lives,even though they take so little time.
Encouraging donations by stressing the importance of these contributions .  Giving either your time as a volunteer or a gift of money can help a woman who is both financially and mentally drained get through a challenge of a lifetime.

So as the month of October comes to an end, the need for Breast Cancer Awareness does not end.  The simple act of occasionally wearing that pink T-shirt or displaying a pink ribbon garden flag can help remind people to do what they have withing their power to help fight this disease.

There are countless awareness decorative flags to be found.  We offer two that are also personalized flags   These flags help you support a loved one fighting the disease or remember someone you have lost.  Using personalized banners such as these with an actual person's name on it makes the devasting affects of breast cancer more real and therefore hopefully creating more action.  Our thoughts and best wishes are with all.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We all know someone who has suffered from breast cancer.  It is estimated that 232,340 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 and I was surprised to read that the median age at diagnosis is 61. The survival rate of  breast cancer patients is wonderfully high if the cancer is found early.  This in itself makes awareness so very important.  To encourage women to get regular screenings and educate them on the options.  There are several awareness groups and organizations that not only provide education but also to give support and let patients and their loved ones know they are not alone. 

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month we have come out with a new custom garden flag that lets you show your love and support to someone you know that has been diagnosed with or survived breast cancer.  This breast cancer awareness flag will be on sale for a special price the whole month of October.
