It’s an issue literally quite close to everyone’s hearts, so supporting Breast Cancer Awareness month this October should be top of your list of good deeds over the next few weeks. Every day, around 150 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, but thanks to the work done by charities to fund research into treatments and increasing awareness, the survival rates are improving. For October, loads of retailers and brands have created limited-edition products to raise money for breast cancer charities, meaning you can splash out and save lives – it’s a no-brainer!
