October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As you know, my wife has started a blog about her breast cancer at BreastCancerVictory.com. In addition to being somewhat therapeutic for her, she’s not only enriching people’s lives with her story but also creating awareness about this silent killer.

Every 1.9 minutes, a woman is diagnosed.

So anything you can do to help is so important. Even small things. Run in your local “run for the cure.” Talk about it on your blog or in your emails (early detection and prevention is the single greatest “cure”). Donate to it directly. Shop “pink” during October whenever you can (from retailers who donate portions of your purchase).

Mike Filsaime, Paulie Sabol and Donna Fox, who organized the Internet Marketing Main Event (the seminar we were to speak at but couldn’t because of Sylvie’s mastectomy, and the same one I proposed to my beautiful wife the year before), have raised over $3,000 for Breast Cancer Research.

Rick Raddatz, owner of Xiosoft.com, and his team have recently donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in Sylvie’s honor.

Thank you, everyone. It means a lot to us. But it means just as much to the over 200,000 women (and yes, 1,700 men) who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in America. So please, this October, think pink.
