October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Join the effort by lacing up your sneakers for the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk on October 23, from noon-1 p.m. Register for the event and get more details on the Human Resources website at www.hr.upenn.edu/myhr/registration.

After more than 25 years of Breast Cancer Awareness Month observations, most people know something about breast cancer. But did you know that one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? Or that about 2,350 men in the US will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year? Awareness today means sustaining support and encouraging people to take steps for early detection. Participate in Penn’s Breast Cancer Awareness Walk and help to raise awareness.

Don’t forget to wear pink to show your support for those who have been diagnosed, celebrate survivors and honor those who have lost their lives to breast cancer.
