October is Black History Month, as well as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and although today is the last day of October 2013, I wanted to share a very special message. Raising awareness needn't be restricted to just one month of an entire year and so I want to show you how you can support such an inspirational charity by simply purchasing some amazing items which contribute to Breakthrough. Breakthrough Breast Cancer is urging everyone to shop with a conscience and shop pink! Yeah, you #ShopPink! YOU can help to raise vital funding to help continue Breakthrough’s life-saving work towards improving early diagnosis, developing new treatments and preventing all types of breast cancer. With 1,000 women dying from the disease each month in the UK alone, every penny raised is vital in order to help us create a world freed from breast cancer.
