For those that don't already know it, October has been Breast Cancer-awareness month. On October 2 I had the privilege of stopping by the CIBC Run for the Cure (run by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation) to take a few photos of the run. This is an annual event which raises millions of dollars each year towards the breast cancer foundation to help those who have had, do have, or will have breast cancer. This year the run raised $17 million for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The run is full of emotions and solidarity, and I commend everyone who was involved in some way. As an RN I have a hard time thinking of anyone who has not been affected in some shape or form by this terrible disease. I am also going to put on my nurse hat here for a moment by posting a metaphorical photo I came across using lemons to help distinguish some early warning signs that you should seek further assessments from your physician... I will post the link also to where I found it.
The first photo is from here: http://www.worldwidebreastcancer.com/
