As I’m sure you know, October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast cancer is a horrible disease that has touched, unfortunately, almost every one of our lives in some way or another. Chances are that you know someone who has fought or is fighting against breast cancer or, at the very least, who has had a scare.

I was first inspired to do this gallery during the first October Washington Redskins game, when the entire team of big, burly football players came out wearing pink wrist bands, skull caps, shoes & gloves. Although I’m featuring the Redskins here because they’re our team, the entire NFL is participating in breast cancer awareness month to raise money and increase awareness of the importance of early detection.

Below are some of my other favorite breast cancer awareness and fundraising campaigns this month:

8. support breast cancer survivors and promote awareness with a Twibbon (do you follow me on Twitter?)

Has breast cancer touched your life? How do you support the cause?
