Libra (September 23 – October 22) Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

OCTOBER: The name for this month comes from the Roman word for “eighth” – octavus – as it was the eighth month of the Roman year.

The Anglo-Saxons called October Winterfylleth. This means ‘fullness’ of winter. Finally, in the Southern hemisphere, October is the seasonal equivalent to April.

October is breast cancer awareness month, a time for us all to come together and raise awareness of this devastating disease and its effects. October is dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer. While breast cancer most commonly affects women, anyone can develop it, so it’s important that everyone understands the risk factors, signs and symptoms, and the importance of early detection and treatment. 

October 18, 2024

Each year “Wear It Pink” encourages individuals, schools, and businesses to wear something pink and raise funds to support life-saving research and treatments for breast cancer.

CANCER IS NOW IN MOST PEOPLES LIVES, AFFECTING 1 IN 2 PEOPLE, BREAST CANCER HAS ALREADY AFFECTED PEOPLE ON OUR STAFF – EITHER THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE CLOSE.

PLEASE SUPPORT US BY WEARING PINK ON 18/10 – ALL STAFF, RESIDENTS AND VISITORS

FOR EVERYONE WEARING PINK THAT DAY TRACY WILL DONATE TO BREAST CANCER (PHOTOS MAY BE NEEDED!!)
