Did you know that every three seconds, a mother, sister, niece, aunt, wife, or friend is diagnosed with breast cancer? E.F Boyd & Son Funeral Home in Cleveland, Ohio recognizes that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many of us in Northeast Ohio have been personally touched by a loved one or a friend with this disease, but the good news is that with cancer prevention tips, you can become a survivor of breast cancer. E.F. Boyd & Son wants all Cuyahoga County, Ohio citizens to get involved and support the search for a cure by participating in local cancer walks, or just by asking loved ones to visit the doctor for routine screenings.

Whether you love to shop, attend events, or exercise, there are many different ways to show your support for the cause, and they are all happening right in your own backyard!
