Modern treatments for cancer tend to be hard on a patient’s body. And some cancers, particularly breast cancer, can be very aggressive and difficult to fight. For these reasons, more and more patients are seeking complementary alternative medical (CAM) treatments.
Yesterday was the Making Strides walk for American Cancer Society downtown Grand Rapids.
Making Strides is the annual walk downtown Grand Rapids for the American Cancer Society. The purpose of the walk and gathering is to honor breast cancer fighters and survivors while also raising money for great local heath and survivor programs...
What are you doing Saturday morning? You need to join Christine and myself for Making Strides and Bras across the Grand!
It happens Saturday morning at Rosa Park Circle and on the Blue Bridge. Rosa Park Circle is where the walk begins and where registration happens...
When it comes to the fight against breast cancer, not all pinks are equal. As we become more aware of the “pinkwashing” of America, we know that buying something in a shade of pink isn't necessarily doing anything to help the fight against breast cancer -- and some products can actually hinder it. That's why, as we spend our October supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, getting the word out and doing our individual best to fund the cause as we see fit, we need to make sure we're supporting the fight well. (And of course, looking good while doing it -- that's also nice.)
