October is breast cancer awareness month. Besides skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, claiming an estimated 41,760 lives in 2019. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among women worldwide.<\/p>\n

What are we doing about it? For starters, sporting a pink ribbon is one way to show respect for those who are suffering or have suffered from breast cancer. Additionally, on a national and local scale, communities sponsor events that help to bring awareness of breast cancer and to fund research. Swim teams, colleges and other swim organizations are not sitting on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
