Happy Hump Day DIVA's!!
If you have suddenly seen a swarm of pink-wearing ladies & fellas around you at work, in your community, and even within National Sporting Leagues & Organizations-- NO, it's not the new Fall trend; but I am glad to say that this month celebrates 25 years of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Many of us DIVA's know or have known of someone dear or distance to us who have been affected with this disease. The promotion of education, awareness, and prevention have been through foundations like Susan G. Komen "for the cure"and "Pink Ribbon"-Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign through Estee Lauder, and many others to reach women (& men) in our society to defeat breast cancer.
Breast Cancer has affected my family and friends, and recently took my grandmother Posta B. Warren who passed away on April 24th, 2010. She was and still is a powerful soul and influence in my life, who has battled with this striking disease.
Research has shown that early detection can lead to securing effective treatment for breast cancer. For disease information, where to get mammograms (& what it entails), as well as support (breast cancer walks and fundraisers), please go to ~ www.nbcam.org ~ for awareness as well as where to donate for breast cancer research!!
So to you DIVAs' our health matters, please research your family's disease history, educate yourselves on how to get involved and how to prevent breast cancer, as well how we can support each other!
* In loving memory of Posta B. Warren (12/16/23 ~ 4/24/10)*
