It Doesn't End With October!

While many of the advertising and awareness campaigns may slow down at the end of this month for Breast Cancer Awareness, the need doesn't end here. Hopefully one day fighting for this cause won't be necessary. But while it does, please help support us by visiting all of the other Etsy Project Embrace shop owners who are donating their creations to help support research. I've decided, since I couldn't come close to showcasing these shops in one month to continue reminding you about this project through the end of the year. Thanks for your help and support!

Team, Etsy Project Embrace has raised $3150.30 to date! Wooo Hoo!

Breast Cancer Awareness and Artists

October is not only the beginning of the fall season and changing color of leaves, but it is also the month that you will see a lot of Pink! October is national Breast Cancer awareness month. This disease has touched all of our lives in some way. Here are three ways to help lower your risk factors, information is taken from the American Cancer Society website:

• Eat a healthy diet to help control weight, since being overweight or obese may raise breast cancer risk.
• Get regular physical activity. The American Cancer Society recommends 30 minutes a day, 5 or more days a week. Forty-five to 60 minutes a day is even better for reducing breast cancer risk.
• Limit the amount of alcohol you drink to no more than 1 drink per day. Alcohol is clearly linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer.

Many artists on Etsy have joined in the fight to raise money for research, support and education regarding this disease. If you are interested in donating an item in your shop, or just donating take a look at this link for more information.
