Breast Cancer Awareness Month- Think Pink October 2013.

October means a lot of things. Halloween, Autumn, Leaves, the start of the run up to Christmas but most importantly, October means Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Every year, around 55,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK alone. That works out as 1 person every 10 minutes and right now, somewhere in the world, someone will have just been given that life changing catastrophic news. Just under 12,000 of these people wont make it. Every year, more and more people are being diagnosed but despite this, the rate of survival is improving down to improved treatment and early detection.

This October, we are doing something about it! We may not be able to raise thousands of pounds to help, but what we can do is help raise awareness of this cause in the hopes that more people will donate or even just learn more about the horrible disease.

So, what are we going to do I hear you ask? @JosephineJakobs (Click on her name to be relocated to her twitter page,) came up with the idea that throughout the month of October, all us nail fanatics will create nail art designs in pink. We will post the images to our twitter and retweet everyones to spread awareness of the cause. I will also be posting my nail designs up on my blog, starting from October 1st and hopefully will manage a new post every day through to the 31st. If you'd like to join in then please do! Its a great cause!
