October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'd venture to guess that the majority of us have been touched in some way by breast cancer. Breast cancer accounts for nearly 1 in 4 cancers diagnosed in women and with the data from 2009, only lung cancer will account for more cancer deaths in women. This is a tragic disease, but we can help do something about it.

Zionna Munuz, a CrossFitter, has founded Mammograms In Action, a non-profit that provides mammograms for women in need. What began as a small fundraising event to support the non-profit last year has grown enormously in 2010. You can  read all about it in a CrossFit Journal article here: Download CFJ_Wilson_AmazGrace 

On Saturday, October 23rd, CrossFit Evolve will be one of hundreds of CrossFit affiliates hosting Amazing Grace: Barbells for Boobs throughout the month of October.
