HEALTHY LIVING MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN BREAST CANCER Thinking you can do nothing to help solve this nasty diagnosis, think again. Volunteering efforts are the hub of opportunity in making a difference. Beating breast cancer is more than research and development of pharmaceuticals to wipe out this deadly illness, it is taking the initiative to give assistance to the women who battle it annually. Volunteering is available in many facets, and each minute dedicated to serving breast cancer patients is welcomed. A few minutes to promote events on social media, like Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, or Relay for Life opens the door to increased awareness, and funds the many programs needed to care for patients. Volunteer participation strengthens the network for individuals in need, and provides hope when the lights have gone dim in the face of breast cancer as health hangs in the balance. The last thing a patient needs is the fear of being unable to financially afford treatments, or even having a place to stay if she is far from treatment centers. Offer the shoulder in which patients can lean upon, in any capacity, to pave the road to recovery. continued from pg. 33 your advertise business with us!
