Continuing in the spirit of this month being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the lovely Cathy Miller invited me to write this guest post on breast cancer risk factors on her Simply Stated Health Care business blog. I was delighted that she invited me back into her blogosphere – it must mean I was well-behaved enough when I was her guest for the first time a few weeks ago when I discussed the health benefits of volunteering!

If you’re someone who should have a mammogram (whether because of your age group or risk factors), but haven’t already done so, don’t delay any longer – speak to your doctor about screening.

How Can You Help Others?
Again, if you literally have $2 to spare (or more!), please consider donating to the Susan G. Komen “3 Day For The Cure” – Cathy Miller is about to embark upon her 8th of these walks in the fight against cancer.  She still needs a wee bit more by way of donations to allow her to undertake the walk, so dig around under the sofa or in that old never-used-teapot! Any spare few dollars that you can find will be massively welcomed! Visit her page to make a small donation today. Your few dollars will make a world of difference.
