At CPC we take great pride in always evolving and doing our best to move forward with everything that we do. From the programming of class content to bringing in new equipment to finding new partnerships, it's all at the core of CPC's mission. Keeping with that theme, we are launching a whole new Season of Giving initiative that starts today. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are partnering with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to bring education and awareness about this disease to the forefront. We have educational handouts at CPC along with #GoPink bracelets and ribbons for the taking. Grab one to help spread the work and show your support. We'll also be highlighting the latest in research, support, and health on our various social media channels.
Part of why I wanted to write post is obviously to let everyone know where our heads are at for this month and what we'll be talking about at CPC. The other reason is I wanted to see if our community had any stories to share about dealing with breast cancer; either you, a family member, or a friend? This is a disease that is becoming more and more prevalent, and sadly there are probably a lot of us that have had to deal with it. I've had to deal with it a few years ago when we found out that my mother had been diagnosed with it. Fortunately after treatment and several procedures she is now cancer free and has been for some time, but it's always scary having to deal with something that can be potentially fatal.
For those of you that are comfortable enough to share a little bit of your story I encourage you to do so, post a quick message to the blog, put up a short comment to one of the many social media articles we will be putting up this month. Know that you're not alone and the best way to tackle this issue is together.
