Pinktober

As we are very close to “Pinktober”, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I am asking each of you (and to please share with your networks) to #thinkbeforeyoupink.

You will be bombarded with opportunities to make donations at your local store, buy all kinds of “pink” items, t-shirts, ribbons, etc.

Please make sure that at least a portion or all of the proceeds from your purchase or donation is earmarked to be donated to a certified charity, research facility, Breast cancer patients for assistance with access to care, etc, anything that benefits the goals of Breast Cancer Month.

For me, it is We Need A Cure. Do you know that while Stage 0 to Stage 3 Breast Cancer patients can be cured, there is no cure for #stageivbc #stageivneedsmore.
I will make sure when making my purchases the donations will go to research for a cure.

Everyone’s reason for donations, purchases for this month, is personal and I am not asking to change that. I just believe that your reason is not to SOLELY increase the profits of the company selling the pink items. #knowledgeispower

Thanks for listening to my opinion and hopefully #makeadifference this October.
