It's the month of October and it is breast cancer awareness month. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cause. Although October is designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the NBCAM organization is dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer awareness throughout the year.

The www.NBCAM.org Web site is a year-round resource for breast cancer patients, survivors, caregivers and the general public, and we encourage you to visit our site in October and regularly throughout the year as we add updated breast cancer information and resources. As of today, the NBCAM organization is comprised of several national public service organizations, professional medical associations, and government agencies working in partnership to build breast cancer awareness, share information and provide access to screening services.

There are many activities that one can attend to fundraise any funds, such as: Susan G. Komen. Susan G. Komen is a fundraising walk, which is spread across 3 days, raises money for breast cancer research.
