Happy October everyone!
As you all know (aside from being the month where i run marathon #2 – 10 days! and marking 11 months till i get married!) this month is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so this month I’m going to try to pass along awareness, ways you can support the cause and other surprises (o.O cryptic)
I’m Going Pink for October….are you?
Fun Fact: Last week, the House and Senate both passed HR 1157 a bill to have the National Institutes of Health study causes of breast cancer. The bill authorizes $40 million in additional annual spending through FY2012 to the NIH for research-related activities. It also sets up an Interagency Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Coordinating Committee within the Department of Health and Human Services, which would be staffed by advocates and members of scientific and medical communities, to make recommendations and solicit proposals for breast cancer research. The bill is now going to the President to await his signature.
