It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month! To show our support, we believe everyone should know of the upcoming charity events. Over the last 21 years, more than $400 million has been raised from breast cancer walks and nearly 7 million participants have walked in the 3 to 5 mile events.Breast cancer is a tragic disease that affects millions of women in the US.
