We have all of those cute silly names for Breasts and men seem to go gaga over them, they come in all shapes and sizes and have being used since the beginning of time to give pleasure during a time of intimacy between lovers and as the primary source of nutrition for infants.
For all the good they do, even they are not immune to the ravages of cancer.
An estimated 182,460 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2008 alone and an estimated 1,990 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men in the U.S. during 2008.
Did that latter statistic shock you ? Yes Breast Cancer can effect men as well as women.
October, as many of you know is Breast Cancer Awareness month, in order to get ready for this and to start raising awareness early, a couple of Etsians sarahinflorida and MissKnits have issued a Boob challenge for all Etsy stores. So far 59 stores are participating, yours truly is one of them.
Each store lists something for the challenge, the proceeds from the sales of those items go to the Susan G Komen Foundation to help fund a cure.
So please pop on over,take a gander, support some Etsians and help raise some money to find a cure to stamp out this horrible disease once and for all.
