As October comes to a close, Brazoria County Emergency Services District No. 3 wants to take a moment to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and stand in support of everyone affected by breast cancer.

To those currently fighting, the survivors who inspire us with their strength, the families standing beside their loved ones, and those remembering someone they've lost, we stand with you.

While October may be coming to an end, breast cancer awareness shouldn't stop when the month does. Early detection, education, and continued support can make a difference in saving lives.

•  Stay up to date on recommended mammograms and screenings.
• Know your risk factors and family history.
• Encourage your loved ones to prioritize their health.
• Continue supporting those affected by breast cancer throughout the year.
