The first known use of a pink ribbon in connection with breast cancer awareness was in the fall of 1991, when the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to participants in its New York City race for breast cancer survivors. Ever since then, wearing pink during the month of October is well known as a sign of supporting Breast Cancer.
Breast cancer is a complex disease that will affect 1 in 9 Canadian women during their lifetime. According to the latest statistics, it is estimated that 25,000 women and 220 men in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and that 5,000 women and 60 men will die from the disease in 2015. So all together, let's raise social awareness for a disease that affects so many of us and proudly wear pink as we support our mothers, sisters, aunts, co-workers and friends as they battle with Breast Cancer.
Here are some amazing pink items, and brands that are helping to support the cause, that you can win. So take a closer work at the goodies up for grabs in our #InOctoberWeWearPink Instagram contest with fellow Canadian bloggers Stephaniiiiiiiiiie, MyBeautyFavs and HollyOBee.
