“Accepting and like understanding there’s people who do go through it because someone I do know, it might sound stupid, but it’s my best friend’s mom, she’s like my neighbor, I hung out with her when she was going through treatment and everything, and it just meant a lot that she like got through it”.

October is a time when the leaves fall, the weather gets cooler, and we celebrate Halloween. But it’s also breast cancer awareness month. A month to recognize, spread awareness, inform, and educate everyone about Breast Cancer.
