Home / Life 13 useful products we love that support breast cancer research If you're already planning on shopping (or getting a head start on your holiday list) this is a great way to give back. By Sara Goldstein Updated October 2, 2024 Rectangle We independently select and share the products we love—and may receive a commission if you choose to buy. You’ve got this. Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women so, chances are, you know someone who has been affected by it. Across Team Motherly we’ve had grandmothers, mothers and friends who have done battle, so we’re always on the lookout for ways to help fund research beyond traditional donations. Related: A breast self-exam saved my life—four months after my daughter was born The entire month of October is dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging women to do self-checks or schedule their mammograms. After all, early detection is paramount. Which means this month is a time that many companies and organizations work together to raise funds for breast cancer research. If you’re already planning on shopping (or getting a head start on your holiday list) this is a great way to give back. We’ve highlighted some our favorite products that are donating percentages of proceeds directly to research throughout Breast Cancer Awareness month. BCRF products we love: MoveActive 1.
