Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Video 
Tuesday, October 16th,
2007
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, which is
dedicated to increasing awareness of early breast cancer
detection. This year, over 40,000 women in the U.S. will
die from breast cancer. It is estimated that in 2007, about
178,480 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed, although incidence
rates have decreased since the turn of the millenium. And death
rates from breast cancer have been declining since 1990, with larger
decreases in women under 50. The decreases are believed to be the
result of early detection through screening, increased awareness, and
improved treatment.
Here is a video clip / tribute we've put together for the
cause:

community outreach programs that support saving lives and ending breast
cancer forever.
