Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer that affects a huge number of women every year, all over the world. Various government and private organizations along with NGOs organize educational campaigns in order to spread awareness about the deadly breast cancer and encourage women for early diagnose to prevent or decline number of deaths. Inspite of these measures, figures suggest that one out of 29 women is diagnosed with breast cancer.

October will be observed as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and will offer a series of awareness programs and hailing women to take better care of their health and attend regular health checks for early diagnose of breast cancer.

Meanwhile, ghd styling teams has planned to organize a "ghd style-a-thon" across South Africa, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town, at a number of different shopping centers on October 1.

The event can be considered one of its kinds, where having a hairstyle will help cancer sufferers. The ghd has earned immense reputation for its efforts, since 2005, and credited to donate not less than R1.1 million to Cansa. Its annual limited edition `Pink Styler' has contributed significantly in increasing funds.
