October - Watch out for the pink ribbons!!

Please read this article. It is a powerful story of a breast cancer survivor who explains why she does not buy into the pink ribbon madness!

I agree, this month should be about PREVENTION and education, not about purchasing products (which are often cosmetics or food that contains ingredients that are actually linked with causing cancer).

I like to try to support charities where most of the money goes towards prevention.
