The Chronic Consumer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in recognition of this very important issue, I’m going to try my best to buy pink from some online or bricks and mortar retailers. Whether it’s a pink ribbon, t-shirt, rubber wristband, or a jacket, part or all of the proceeds will go to help fund things like free mammograms and research. Perhaps there’s even a program to offset prescription costs, which I know would always be welcomed by families coping with this catastrophic disease.

Whatever you can do, whether it’s donating a few dollars or a few hours of your time, please do something this month. We owe at least that much to the women in our lives!
