October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Though we should always be spreading awareness and supporting research, this month we really see the community come together through various platforms.
There are several ways you can show your support to breast cancer patients and to furthering cancer research. One of the more popular ways is through donating money! Picking a charity to donate to can be tricky, here are a few options that focus on support and research, not just awareness:
Chemo Angels: https://www.chemoangels.com/
American Cancer Society: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/breast-cancer.html
StandUp2Cancer: https://standuptocancer.org/
Breast Cancer Research Foundation: https://www.bcrf.org/
If you aren’t in a financial state to donate money, you have other options! Donating clothes to a chemo center is another great way to show your support and care. Check out your local oncologist’s office to know how you can help!
Cancer can be isolating. Letting friends, family, or even complete strangers know you are there for them can be enough support needed.
