🎀 OCTOBER IS CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀

The Hillsborough County Chapter of The Charmettes, Inc. stands with individuals and families affected by cancer as we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Liver Cancer Awareness Month.

Awareness is more than wearing a ribbon. It is knowing your body, understanding your risk, talking with your healthcare provider, keeping recommended screenings, and encouraging the people we love to do the same.

This month, let’s honor those we have lost, celebrate survivors, support those currently navigating cancer, and encourage one another to make our health a priority.

💗 Know your risk. Get informed. Get screened. Take action.

Together, we can spread knowledge, encourage early detection, and strengthen our community.
