Ways To Support Breast Cancer Research Without Paying A Lot

If you're like me you want to support causes like research for breast cancer cures, but you might not always have the extra money to donate. There are ways to support the cause without having to pinch your own pennies to help.

The easiest way to help is by visiting The Breast Cancer Site and clicking a button. You can click once a day, and every click donates free mammograms to aid in early detection. Another way to help is to find a breast cancer charity event in your area. These events are ran by volunteers, and there are many jobs available where you can help out.

You can contact the American Cancer Society to find out info on breast cancer walks in your area. Participating in these walks not only raises money but helps you to stay fit! If you are involved with a local church group or community group see if you can get your group to sponsor a charity event to raise awareness.

I still think the most effective, yet free way to support breast cancer research is to raise awareness by talking to the other women you know about their health and breast cancer. Remind them to do monthly self checks and to talk to their doctors about mammograms. Breast cancer knows no age limit, so just because a woman might think she's too young to need a mammogram, her doctor may think otherwise. I might be 25 with no family history of breast cancer, but I am a large chested woman with a thyroid problem. My doctor wants me to get a mammogram every 2 years. Taking care of your own body is the first step in prevention.

These are just a few ways to support breast cancer awareness if you're pocket is too empty to give money, but I'm sure there are many other ways I'm not thinking of. What ideas can you come up with? Be creative!
