Although VL hit on Breast Cancer Awareness a little while ago, it’s time to do so again. Still in the middle of Breast Cancer Awareness month, this Friday, October 21, is National Mammography Day.

I would like to take this moment to encourage our female readers to make that appointment this week. If you are in need of free/low cost services, check the NBCCEDP site.

As we mentioned in our previous post, the Latino community is way behind on awareness, so there is a lot of catching up to do.

Ways you can help: donate time or money to the cause, participate in an event such as Race for the Cure, and encourage friends and family members to perform self-exams and get mammographies.
