Push for a cure - Short Stuff - Brief Article
Girls' Life, Oct-Nov, 2002
This year, over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 39,000 will die from the disease. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and you can help by supporting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. You don't have to donate a ton of money to make your mark; you can simply wear a pink ribbon pin to show your support.
Or you can buy cute gifts like Milestones to Wellness Marble push pins (pictured) and magnets ($15 per pack), or Swirl Pink Ribbon stationery ($11.50). Log on to www.komen.org/market or call 1-877-SGK-SHOP to order. Or if you've got some get-up-and-go, take part in the Race for the Cure, a 5K run/walk in 100 U.S. cities. All proceeds go to breast cancer research. Check out www.raceforthecure.com for a race in your area.
