Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Among other things, having an entire month dedicated to a cause really helps us remember the one important thing:  getting your screening scheduled.  

Ladies – be sure to take your man with you!  Even though the cases are very few, men are certainly not immune to getting breast cancer.  Doctors say what is important is your breast self-exam, getting a mammography and your clinical exam by your physician. In addition, healthy living, decreasing alcohol and not smoking will definitely assist in the battle against this deadly disease.


Take a look – Breast Cancer Awareness Month  is all around you: participate and/or donate – there are many ways to get involved and feel like you are a part of the cause. There are also many websites devoted to breast cancer awareness.  Here's one:  http://nbcam.org 

I will be hosting a special Pilates for Pink class at Sky Athletic Club in Rockville Centre on October 31st at 8:30 p.m.   My "Pilates with Weights" class is free for members.  Non-members can participate for a guest fee of $15.  Please join me for a fun-filled hour devoted to a most worthy cause and make your donation to breast cancer.
