October marks this year\u2019s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a sweeping, country-wide campaign that sees breast cancer survivors, socially responsible companies and health experts come together to shine a light on the challenges and misconceptions, the diagnosis and treatment, as well as the resources and support that breast cancer prompts.<\/p>\n

While breathtaking medical strides have reduced breast cancer mortality, it remains among the most common \u2013 and one of the deadliest \u2013 forms of cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute<\/a>. The American Cancer Society<\/a> estimates that over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer have or would develop this year, mostly affecting women 45 years of age or older.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all aware of breast cancer,\u201d said Michelle Ward, a New Yorker who herself has been diagnosed with breast cancer twice. \u201cEvery single person has been affected by breast cancer - whether it is, unfortunately, losing someone that we love, or knowing someone or multiple people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.\u00a0 It is in everyone's life, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

To mark the month \u2013 and the grim statistics it reminds of \u2013 Haute Beauty has compiled a list of events worth participating in.<\/p>\n

BRA Day 2017<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

BRA Day or Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day is hosted by Aesthetx<\/a> founder and Haute Beauty expert, Dr. Kamakshi Zeidler and Cancer CAREpoint, a non-profit on whose board she sits. At the event, Dr. Zeidler, alongside Dr. Pamela Munster, Professor of Medicine and the Co-Program Leader for UCSF\u2019s Center for BRCA Research, will share the latest information about the novelties in breast cancer research and treatment technologies. Dr. Zeidler will also talk about the recent advances in breast reconstruction, which fewer than 25 percent of affected women wholly understand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel very passionate about bucking this trend and educating women about the numerous options available to heal both the physical and emotional scars when they have been given this life-changing diagnosis,\u201d said Dr. Zeidler, board certified plastic surgeon and one of a few women in the Bay Area formally trained in advanced breast reconstruction. \u201cI am excited to host this sixth annual event to bring together the Silicon Valley community and inspire them to help support this incredible cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event will also include a creative decorated bra contest, which will feature Olympic and World Cup Champion Brandi Chastain as one of the celebrity judges. It will also present heartfelt portraits of breast cancer survivors, taken in a recent shoot that Dr. Zeidler organized.<\/p>\n

When<\/strong><\/span>: October 12th, from 6-8pm<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong><\/span>: courtyard of the Hotel Valencia in San Jose, CA<\/p>\n

AVON 39: The Walk to End Breast Cancer<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The final, weekend-long event of AVON 39 campaign comprises a 39.3-mile long walk through New York. In its 15th<\/sup> season, the occasion celebrates the philanthropic efforts of participants, who each raise $1,800 to advance breast cancer research, educate the public about the disease, and improve access to screenings and treatment.<\/p>\n

Since their inception in 2003, the AVON 39 walks, which transpire in major cities around the country, have raised over $600 million, which fund local breast cancer causes and research organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that we do at our events, which is really special and I think differentiates AVON 39 from other events, at our concluding ceremony, we award the novelty checks to our beneficiaries, so we are able to announce the grand dollars that are going to each beneficiaries,\u201d said Jill Surdyka, Communications and Community Engagement at AVON Breast Cancer Crusade. \u201cThey are on stage and talk about the things they are going to be doing with the money. So, all the walkers, their families and friends, can see the impact they will be making in their communities across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2016, the New York edition attracted more than 3,100 participants, including breast cancer survivors, who collectively raised $7.6 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cI first got involved when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33 back in the end of November 2011, the day after Thanksgiving,\u201d said Ward, the AVON 39 participant from New York. \u201cOnce I got my diagnosis, I turned to the Avon walk probably the next month. It was one of the very first things that I did and I knew the walk was going to be the following October. It was not only something that would keep me active, but knowing what I was going to go through, I knew that I would need to have some sort of external deadline and reason to keep active and I knew how important that would be for my treatment and recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong><\/span>: New York<\/p>\n

When<\/strong><\/span>: October 14th \u2013 15th<\/p>\n
