October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

You can help raise funds for breast cancer research as well as getting a cute reminder for your annual breast checkup. Munchkin, Inc. – maker of infant and toddler products – raised $30,000 last year and is trying to break that record. Their campaign is called Project Pink - Don't Duck A Breast Exam. Each duck purchased will generate funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Celebrities have decorated and donated ducks for an online auction. Early detection does save lives - have your annual mammogram and do your monthly breast self exam.
