October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many of us have been touched by this disease; whether personally, or someone you know has been affected. This month we take the time to remember those who have survived breast cancer and those who have lost the fight. We also remember to take care of ourselves by doing breast exams. Through awareness and education, we can all do our part to help win the fight against this horrible disease.
Tons of designers and merchants are highlighting products that help us “do good” while we shop. Proceeds from the sales of these products go to cancer research and charities. Below are great jewelry pieces to accessorize with while doing your part to fight breast cancer.
