I'm late again!

Better late than never though! For anything that has already passed, let's make an effort to google something about that issue in belated spirit of awareness


And of course and as usual, 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 March. 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.
