October is the best month ever for any number of reasons; Halloween, Fall is in full swing, it's also the celebration of life of yours truly, its the one year anniversary of running my first marathon, its also my unofficial one year anniversary with Spike (I played hard to get the first two months and pretended we weren't really dating! LOL!), a whole slew of other people's birthdays including; my beloved Rixy, Tall Guy Surfing, four of my cousins, my little sister, Marlene, Katie, Chic Runner, etc...
But one of my favorite reasons for loving October is because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do you support Breast Cancer Awareness and Breast Cancer Awareness Month?
Here are a few ways to show your support:http://www.facebook.com/BreastCancerAwareness
Find an event near you: LinkIn Events, The Breast Cancer Site Events, Susan G. Komen Events, or simply Google "October Breast Cancer Awareness Events in (your city here)"
Eat Dannon Yogurt:

Get Gear: Shop Breast Cancer Awareness on CafePress, Save the Ta-ta's, Save 2nd Base, or rock some I Love Boobies Bracelets!!!
Wear PINK!
Sorry to cram all this down your throats but as a woman with family history of Breast Cancer I think its very important to show my support any way that further funds research that might someday find a cure so we don't have to lose anymore loved ones or fight it ourselves.
I rocked a pink headband for Chicago last year to support the cause
Jill & I ran the Breast Cancer Half in February in honor of our family that have been affected by Breast Cancer; You are my hero Aunt Donna!I support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, won't you join me? Get your PINK on!

Save the boobies (and the balls)!
I'm with Jamoosh on this...we have to do what we can. That pre-Chi-Town pics is awesome by-the-way. I'm secretly thinking about running chi-town in 2011. if you're back up and running...you down?
My mom's been affected by breast cancer. Both breasts. So, I'm supporting anything Pink Ribbon!
Great reminder.
Happy October! Around my area, its usually when the weather is finally cool enough to justify a big, fat pot of chili cooking on the stovetop!
Also, I couldn't help but to notice your tulle skirts in the picture... do you have a site for how to make them or know how to make them? My sister and I are running the Princess Half in Feb and want to get in the Princess spirit!
Save the ta tas!! Our governor declared today Arkansas Go Pink for the Cure Day and I'm sporting my pink!! I'm also running in our Race for the Cure 5k on the 16th! Our tutus look FAB for the event!
I'm running the Race for the Cure this weekend in Denver and have my "Save the Tatas" socks already to go!
My first answer was, "Because it's YOUR birthday!" but all the reasons are awesome, too. Thanks for the reminder about getting our pink on this month... so important! (Made its way into our family recently, too... boo!)
*hugs* to you, girlie! (hug the man for me, too...LOL)
Hey - I have the save the tata's top too.
Love it!
You are rocking that outfit girl. Awesome!
I cannot believe that trip was 8 months ago!!!!
Happy Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
I LOVE October. Mine and hubs' Birthdays too!! AND Canadian T-giving is in October. Hello carb loading. :)
someone up there asked about chicago 2011....hmmm??? that's my super-not-so-secret plan. :)
my man is running a race for the cure this month, and i'll be gimping on the sidelines, cheering my ass off. save all the boobies!
I need to sign up for a breast cancer race! do you know any in mid michigan?
I fully agree with you on how important it is to support breast cancer awareness! I just did a big breast cancer post on my blog this morning about how to give yourself a breast self exam.

I think my blog post yesterday (3 things thursday) supports this cause! =)
Happy Anniversary!

Watching a boatload of football with them all decked out in pink as we speak.
BTW - how did spike do? I tried to go to the website but it hasn't been updated since yesterday. Blah.
Anniversary And birthday month?! Definitely big things happening over there ;) Love your support & definitely join in your enthusiasm! I drove past (while on I-25) the Susan G Komen walk here in Denver yesterday and got goosebumps...amazing turnout!

I, too, love October!
Yay for anniversaries and yay for boobies! I totally need to be a spectator for you again...good times!
That's my main reason for loving October too! (I DO love Halloween though). I have breast cancer in my family too, and any way I can help I'm all for it! Thanks for writing this post and generating more awareness! :)
