In the spirit of what this group stands for, health awareness, here is a compiled list of month-long, week-long, and official days for awareness in September. I have also included links to official websites for each cause so that you can read up on any of the following issues and spread the word, making yourself and your loved ones aware of signs, symptoms, risks, treatments, and possibilities.

This is something that I'll be running from this account on a monthly basis.
