This month beyondBeanie brings awareness to one the leading causes of death worldwide: Breast Cancer. Around 1.7 million new cases were reported in 2012 alone, making breast cancer the fifth most common cause of death from cancer for women around the globe. Although there have been some advancements in the treatment of breast cancer in the last few years, one of the most crucial factors for treatment has been early detection. Studies have shown that treatment for this type of cancer works best during the early stages of the illness. As a result of this finding, there have been several public campaigns for early detection and self examination in the United States, Europe, Australia and Latin America.
There are many ways to show support to those affected by breast cancer. Whether it is participating in community events, commemorating a loved one who has fallen to breast cancer, or making a small donation to a breast cancer research foundation. You can follow the suggestions below to leave your mark on breast cancer!
Create a Tribute
Make a small memorial to commemorate any loved ones who have passed away as a result of breast cancer, or to simply honor those who are currently fighting it.
Make a Donation
