October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Welcome to October!
Officially October is Breast Cancer awareness month. You'll see pink everywhere! Even the NFL is getting involved. The Patriots were wearing pink sneakers and pink gloves today. The Hershey Bears will wear pink jerseys this month, and then they'll auction them off!
The American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is two Saturday's from now, October 17th. If you haven't yet, please take a few moments to donate a few bucks to a worthy cause.
Why is it worthy? Well practically thinking, everyone has breasts. Both men and women can be afflicted with breast cancer. Men with breast cancer can go undiagnosed until it's too late.
Men, you all have one or more of the following: mothers, wives, daughters or grand-daughters. Any one of them are at risk.
We raised a nice amount of money this year, even with the rain. Hopefully next year will be even better.
We again want to thank everyone who came out, who donated items, our sponsors and our friends and family for helping out.
Crossing our fingers for a sunny day for a walk!
Sharon & Jason
