Every October the color changes and I'm not just
talking about falling leaves. Pink is the color of choice for many because it
is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to encourage everyone to
be mindful of this disease. Raising awareness isn't just about reminding us of
those we have loved and lost to breast cancer or those who are in remission.
The purpose of BCAM is to support early detection like doctor visits and
mammograms while providing support to those living with and caring for men and
women with the disease. My own mom is a two-time breast cancer survivor so the
color pink is especially meaningful to me. With so many walks, bake sales and
fundraising events planned and healthcare facilities and doctors' offices
promoting mammograms and early detection, I can think of no better promotional
item for the month of October than the
Pink Ribbon Lady Walking
Winder. She's adorable, fun, and yet still promoting good health and early
detection. Wouldn't she look great in an office, on a desk, on a kitchen's
window sill, or on a shelf? I certainly think so. She's here to make us all
aware of breast cancer and a reminder that we can do something to help stomp
out this awful disease.
