Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer awareness month is an international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into it cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer. Breast cancer affects about one in eight women over the course of lifetime in the U.S. that's about 12%. From an you asked breast cancer death rates are higher than rates for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. Around 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. Most often it is due to genetic mutations that happen as result of aging.

It is during this time of year of my business flourishes due to NFL, NHL, and NBA events. It is because of this I'm happy to say during whole month of October I will be donating my time towards raising awareness for breast cancer awareness month. I'll be at various events to raise awareness in the Twin Cities Area photographing runs and other such breast cancer awareness events. I will also be donating a free photo sessions every week this month those who donate their time/money towards helping because. Lastly anyone who wears pink in honor of breast cancer awareness month at sporting events I'm paid to shoot we're receive a 15% discount off the session and all prints or gifts.
