Jason Aldean has become known for his help with and support of breast cancer research — particularly for his work with Susan G. Komen. As a result, the organization has given him a special honor for his advocacy.
When it comes to the fight against breast cancer, not all pinks are equal. As we become more aware of the “pinkwashing” of America, we know that buying something in a shade of pink isn't necessarily doing anything to help the fight against breast cancer -- and some products can actually hinder it. That's why, as we spend our October supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, getting the word out and doing our individual best to fund the cause as we see fit, we need to make sure we're supporting the fight well. (And of course, looking good while doing it -- that's also nice.)
Breast cancer treatments are becoming more targeted and efficient., sparing breast tissue and helping to reduce the amount of treatments actually needed.
As we recognize October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the South Jersey Breast Cancer Coalition is working to eradicate the disease through education, advocacy and action.
