It was initially observed on July 9, 2011, however, within three years it was moved to the 13th day of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, i.e., October. If you know someone who is fighting breast cancer, this day is an opportunity to help them continue the fight.
One in every eight women develop breast cancer in their lives and have to fight a disease that can, at worst case, be lethal. Breasts that are primary identifies of what makes a woman, visually, having them removed in the fight can lead to self-image issues, and depression.
