Happy October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Pink Ribbon Note Cards
Happy October! October means many things; the changing of seasons, wonderful fall food, sweaters and boots, the beginning of the holidays and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime - that is a scary statistic, one that will hopefully change dramatically in my lifetime. I am thrilled, proud and grateful to say that my mom is a breast cancer survivor, so this is a very important issue to myself and my entire family.

There are many ways to help in the fight against breast cancer, from participating in amazing walks such as the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (my aunt and I have participated in four!), to donating your time or money to the cause, every little bit helps. 

If you are looking for a way to donate and raise awareness at the same time, check out the brand new pink ribbon 'thank you' note cards in the Cricket Printing Etsy shop

These sweet little thank you cards feature the words 'thank you' printed in a beautiful black script font, with the top loop of the 'k' made into a pink ribbon. 100% of the proceeds of these note cards will be donated to the Avon Foundation, to support breast cancer research, and help in the fight against breast cancer!

Please consider helping the fight against breast cancer in any way you can!

Happy October!
