The Fall 2010 issue of Sudbury Living features the diary of a Breast Cancer survivor. Mercedez Quinlan tells her story. The issue is available on newsstands now!

In 2010, an estimated 23,200 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer. That is an increase of 500 from 2009. On average 445 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every week. One in nine Canadian women are expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime.

There are numerous events planned to create awareness of breast cancer and raise money for research.

Flower Towne is pleased to announce its "Blooms 4 Breasts" event.  Fifty percent of all pink rose sales for the month of October will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society for Breast Cancer research.
