October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women. According to the American Cancer Society, the average risk of a woman developing Breast Cancer in her life is about 13%. This means there is a 1 in 8 chance a woman will develop Breast Cancer.

Last month, we held our annual Breast Cancer Awareness Giveaway on our Instagram. We wanted to celebrate the strength and spirit of those who have and those who are battling Breast Cancer, as well as their caregivers. One lucky winner won a pink-tastic prize pack that included 50 of our Breast Cancer Awareness products.
