Unfortunately, I have enough friends in Delaware, Maryland, Florida and Puerto Rico who have been touched by breast cancer. Some of them are cancer free and some are going through treatments at the present time. Each one of them, facing this disease with courage, hope and even humor.
At the Delaware Beaches, there are several events that will be happening in May. All with one common goal; Breast Cancer awareness, education, support and early detection for women and men, as well.
As the weather gets warmer in our Beaches, it would be a great time to visit, stay, participate and have a good time.
