In case you didn't know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year some of the biggest brands are supporting those who are battling breast cancer.
What is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, marked in countries across the world every October, helps to increase attention and support for the awareness, early detection and treatment as well as the palliative care of this disease.
Where can I buy a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness Month?
We're all familiar with the Pink Ribbon - a globally recognised symbol for breast cancer - it symbolises a fight for a cure and honours each and every one of us touched by the disease. There are plenty of badges and pins that you can buy online.
#TimeToEndBreastCancer
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation was founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993 to fund the most promising breast cancer research worldwide. Its mission: prevention and a cure within our lifetime. The Estée Lauder Companies UK & Ireland has partnered with Breast Cancer Now to create a self-check leaflet that illustrates the signs and symptoms to look out for when checking your breasts. The company aims to encourage all to regularly check their breasts for signs of breast cancer and not to put off visiting their GP if they have any concerns.
