October is Breast Cancer Awareness month; you can work to reduce your risk by eating right, exercising regularly, and having a mammogram.  You can also help fund a cure by shopping for products that support breast cancer research.  Here are five picks; some portion of the sale price of each goes to the Susan G. Komen foundation and other parner organizations working to end breast cancer.

Bundle up in a SuperCozy Pink Ribbon Jacket from The Breast Cancer Site.  This zip-front fleece jacket is embroidered with the pink ribbon logo and comes in black or pink.  It's the perfect piece for chilly fall mornings.  $19.95.

Bad hair day? Toss on a hat -- how about this great ball cap from the Pink Ribbon Shop?  I have a black one from several years ago, and it truly is the best hat ever, and a lifesaver on lazy Saturdays.  $11.95.

Mix it up in the kitchen with KitchenAid's pink mixer.  For every purchase, KitchenAid makes a $50.00 donation to the Komen Foundation.  $286.25.

BareNecessities has teamed up with Wacoal to help you Support the Girls: for every
Wacoal Awareness bra or Wacoal Embrace Lace bra purchased at
BareNecessities.com during the month of October, Bare
Necessities
and Wacoal will each donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Wear your heart on your sleeve -- or around your neck -- with Ford's limited edition 2008 Warriors in Pink scarf.  This year's scarf is a pashmina, in beautiful brown and pink tones. $30.00 of the $38.00 purchase price goes to the Komen Foundation.

I'm wearing my pink ribbon this month for Susan at Toddler Planet, Laurie at Not Just About Cancer, and the amazing group they have drawn together at Mothers With Cancer.
