Lafayette, La. (PRWEB) October 14, 2006 - October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Breast Pumps Direct is donating $1 for each breast pump sold throughout the month to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The store is making this donation in an effort to increase the awareness that breastfeeding can reduce a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer later in life.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the leading cancer amongst women. Each woman has a one in eight chance of developing breast cancer at some point in her life. Several studies report that mothers who choose to breastfeed for extended periods of time (one year or more) have a reduced risk of breast cancer.

Breast Pumps Direct is committed to providing mothers quality breastfeeding products as well as valuable breastfeeding information because breastmilk is the perfect food for growing infants. Breast Pumps Direct is a leading retailer of America’s most preferred breast pumps and accessories including Medela, Ameda and Avent.
