So much attention is given to the month of October because of all of it's Autumn/Harvest/Scary awesomeness, but it is also Breast Cancer Awareness month. I wanted to do something different so I decided to put together a section in my Etsy shop where a percentage of the sale will be donated to Miles of Hope , including my latest...
Miles of Hope funds support services and outreach for people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley region of New York state. I decided to go with a local charity that may not get the same amount of publicity that bigger charities may get and I want to support a local organization. I've wanted to do something for a charity for a while now but just didn't know what and who and how. Now is as good of a time as any right? This isn't just for the month, the donation will be made regardless of when the item sells.
I had to get a mammogram before I had my surgery in 2010, not the most comfortable experience but I'll definitely take it over the alternative any day. It's so important to be in tune with your body and be aware if anything doesn't feel right.
