Shop for a Cause: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This weekend, thousands of people across Canada will be participating in the Run For The Cure. However, if running is not quite up your alley, there are other ways to contribute towards breast cancer research!

Breast cancer touches the lives of so many that it is difficult to turn a blind eye to the cause. Many companies are supporting the Think Pink movement by donating proceeds from certain products to help spread awareness and fund research, and since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month we have chosen to share a few favourites from the growing variety of these products:
