October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Links to Articles and Products that Support the Cause.

You probably already know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  It’s a cause near and dear to me because my mother is a survivor.  I love to support good causes when I shop and I’ve already read a ton of great breast cancer related posts.  I’d like to aggregate any relevant links to cool products supporting breast cancer or articles on the subject that you all think are worthy.  I know that many companies have products that donate proceeds to breast cancer (or other cancer) research.   Sometimes these products might be special editions of products you might already buy.  I’m going to put up links to products I’ve seen, but I’m positive I don’t know about them all.

Bookmark this post and when you see something relevant over the next month, come back and submit the link.  I’ll also put a link to this post in my sidebar and at the bottom of all October posts, so you can come back and use it as a shopping resource too.

Submit your links below via MckLinky or leave a comment with your link and I’ll then list it at the bottom of this post.  I have a WordPress site so the links submitted via McLinky don’t automatically show up on this post, but rather a new window will open for you to submit.  Hope that’s not a deterrent.  Either way, I’ll generate a list – more work for me.  I’m also donating ad revenue for the month.

Thanks! We’ll see how it goes.  It’s a work in progress.
