Be Breast Aware

It’s not often I find it necessary to beat my drum about something I’ve read in the papers.  More often than not I try to forget I just read another article about some star or other’s baby weight or the bloody Kardashians.

But in this case I want to express my utter distaste at the thoughtless shown by Cosmopolitan in what should have been an informative and supportive campaign to raise the awareness of breast cancer.

They have decided to have a “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” which is a great idea given the number of lives the disease can take each year.  But the way they have gone about it has enraged one family who lost their mother to cancer and afflicted their sisters.

You can read the full story here which says more than I could ever say.
