My mother celebrates her birthday right around Election Day every year. Heading to the polls always helps me remember that I need to get her a gift. It's easy to forget all of these important days.

October comes after Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma Awareness Month in September. September is also Ovarian Cancer Month. November, meanwhile, is Pancreatic Cancer Month. It's also Stomach Cancer …

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, here's a list of local breast cancer support groups.
One in 8 American women and one in 1,000 American men will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which means a variety of pink products will be hitting the shelves. But, do your pink purchases always go towards the cause?
A wave of pink is flooding stores everywhere, as retailers participate in Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the savvy shopper, it's an opportunity to donate to a good cause while snagging unique, pink-hued items.

All this month, Little Treasury Jewelers in Gambrills is offering a free pink Pandora leather bracelet if you buy $85 worth of Pandora jewelery. But before you plunk down your green for some pink, the nonprofits behind Breast Cancer Awareness Month want you to check the label. Jenna Glazer, director of development for Young Survival …
