This month I will have many posts about Breast Cancer Awareness.

I also have many great giveaways for my followers :)

I have some great companies and websie reviews to share with all of you.

And...I have some great Etsy shops to feature :)

Today, I want to share some really great and informative sites with you.

Followers, I hope you will take the time to check these sites out, and support them if you can!!

Army of Women is a wonderful organization. Take a minute to check out their page and look at the current studies that are going on, perhaps you or someone you love might qualify.

Fellow bloggers, I hope that you will also take "The Pledge" and pledge to blog about Breast Cancer Awareness this month. I am in total agreeance with one of their volunteers named Linda who says, "This 'extra step' will help ensure an era without breast cancer." When you are done reading this post, please take an extra minute to scroll down to the bottom of my blog...there is a short video there to watch about breast cancer awareness featuring Susan Sarandn...or click here now to watch!!

National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. is on a "mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need." This site offers a "Pink Ribbon Challenge" which allows you to help a women who can't afford a mammagram get one anyways. This challenge, is icredibly easy...in fact, it consists of only two clicks of your mouse and you don't have to donate any money. PLEASE take the "Pink Ribbon Challenge" now.

(note...this is not their logo, it's just a pic I found!!)

Time For a Cure is another organization whose mission is "to show the world 'women can and do survive breast cancer', by promoting awareness, early detection and treatments, each and every minute of each and every day, all year long." They believe that awareness is one of the "keys to a cure and that early detection can be the answer to a cure."

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month or nbcam.org for short, is celebrating 25 years of awareness, education, and empowerment. Join them to gather great patient services and disease infomation.
