October means many things – Thanksgiving, Halloween, the final quarter of the year – however most importantly, October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each year, the month is dedicated to raising awareness of and funds for life-saving research for breast cancer through donation campaigns and dedicated products.
Despite incredible advancements in survival rates, according to the Canadian Cancer Council, breast cancer is still the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among Canadian women. The most recent statistics indicate that 1 in 8 Canadian women are expected to develop breast cancer at some point in their life.
Every year fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands release dedicated collections and products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a percentage of proceeds being donated to cancer research and prevention. Below, discover the pieces you can shop this year to help make a difference.
Rethink Breast Cancer
Rethink Breast Cancer, a Canadian breast cancer awareness organization aimed at young women, has tapped more than 20 local and international brands to create pieces for its annual breast cancer awareness collection. Smythe, Deux Lions, BIKO, Ellie Mae, Unika and Gee Beauty are just some of the brands who have partnered with the organization to create limited-edition capsule collections, proceeds from which will be donated to Rethink Breast Cancer’s initiatives. Products include rose gold jewellery pieces, clothing, candles, swimwear, face masks, skincare and more so there’s something for everyone (and everyone you know!).

Peloton
Fitness brand Peloton is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the release of its Stronger capsule collection. The collection is comprised of eight pieces for men and women, and includes a matching sports bra and leggings set, a loungewear set, a T-shirt, tank, exercise shorts and a tote. The brand will donate 20 per cent of the proceeds (up to $25,000) from the collection – which is available to purchase in Canada – to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). Myra Biblowit, the president and CEO of BCRF said in a release, “Thanks to research, we know that exercise and a healthy lifestyle play a critical role in mitigating breast cancer risk. That’s why our partnership with Peloton is especially meaningful – improving women’s health is our shared mission.”
