With autumn just around the corner, we are reminded that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. In April of this year, I lost my cousin, Alessia, to breast cancer. In memory of Alessia, and to show my support for the fight against this horrible disease, I will once again be participating in the American Cancer Society’s Real Men Wear Pink campaign.
