Whether you are a woman living with cancer who seeks to share your experiences or a woman who simply wants to join the cancer support community, many organizations provide opportunities to do so. Often, a friendly hand is just a mouse-click away. Make new friends and build a healthier, happier life by joining up. Schiff Women identify 7 opportunities for those interested in supporting or seeking support. See our list and email us back with others. We will share all those we receive in our next edition.

Chicago Bears Care About National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

If you've seen a Chicago Bears (or any NFL) game this month, you've seen a lot of pink at Soldier Field. The NFL and NFL Players Association supported October's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with its largest on-field presence reflected in pink shoes, arm bans, clothing accents, and the like. For their part, the Chicago Bears through Bears Cares, again sponsored its Real Bears Fans Wear Pink event during October.
