The Crucial Catch Effort

/
0 Comments



There is a great event approaching…no it’s not Halloween, although I cannot wait to create my Doctor Who costume—the event I’m speaking about is both for an amazing cause and shows awesome Colt Pride.

October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it is getting a lot of support from our favorite team throughout the month. So… to commemorate it, the Colts are uniting with other teams in the NFL’s national, “A Crucial Catch”, initiative by encouraging their fans to join them in recognizing the survivors and in raising awareness for the disease that, unfortunately, threatens the lives of millions of women each year.
Let’s throw some facts out there:
- In 2014, an estimated 232,030 cases of  invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. alone.
- For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than any other cancer, besides lung cancer.
- About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
- Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. Just under 30% of cancers in women are breast cancers.

Many people are affected by this and not the just the ones who have the disease. Breast cancer also impacts the lives of family and friends. Join the effort. Get involved. Raise Awareness.
