October is the month of all things spooky, but it's also a time to turn our attention to something much scarier than any ghost: breast cancer.
According to BreastCancer.org, 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime—that's roughly 12 percent of the female population. And October is a month dedicated to raising awareness, donating, and supporting all the women (and men) affected by this disease.
Our three favorite words: add to cart.
