October: Happy Everything Awareness Month

InkPetal

Mental Health Awareness Month in Australia has been assigned by some genius at WayAhead to, you guessed it, October.
Only a matter of time before it's moved under the Dept. health organisers official list. Why. September has World Suicide Prevention day and RUOkay day so people would still be thinking about it year-round. May was a really good time for it.

As well as October being the official National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, want to know what else it already is?

• Shoctober - Defibrillator Awareness Month - Nationwide - Cardiac Arrest Survival Foundation 
• October Lupus Awareness Month - Worldwide - Lupus Foundation email Lupus Foundation
• Polio Awareness Month - Nationwide - Polio Australia
• Dwarfism Awareness Month - Worldwide - Short Statured People of Australia 

Someone tell organizers that there are other months in the year? I can only sit at so many campaign benches.

Inkpetal maybe it's so you have a mega busy month and then have the next 11 to recover
Christine and Mira what are your birth day dates so we can wish you both many happy returns??

iserbrown

Mira

The 18th for me   Its my first birthday living on my own so I might make it a spoil myself/pamper day

I just saw a Facebook post saying October is also miscarriage and still birth awareness month. Something I also hold close to my heart. A busy month indeed. Sorry for the bold but don't know how to get rid of it. Ignore that, worked it out
