October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the U.S., so we wanted to take this opportunity to both raise awareness about this disease and to share some of the best breast cancer awareness ads we’ve ever seen.
Most of you know that breast cancer is a potentially deadly disease that is the second leading cause of death among women, but many people remain ignorant of some of the most basic self-inspection techniques that can help women detect their cancer early on, when it’s easier to beat. For more facts about breast cancer, as well as extensive information about early detection and treatment, be sure to visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s website. Donations to the foundation of your choice can also help support research or pay for mammograms and other breast health services for women in need.
