As most of you know, October is breast cancer awareness month. (On a side note I can;t believe it is October already!) It is the time of year where a lot of pink will be flocking the streets. But what about the soccer fields? You bet! Usually the only professional sport that is known to support the tatas is the NFL, well not anymore! Step back buff footballers, it is time for the TRUE footballers to show their support as well! As a part of Soccer Kicks Cancer, Major LEague Soccer and several other clubs are sporting pink in order to help spread awareness and support for breast cancer. Limited breast cancer merchandise will be available for purchase including scarfs, hats, t-shirts, soccer balls and even cleats customized by MLS players themselves! Several players including Fredy Montero, Chris Montius, Darlington Magbe, Kenny Cooper, and Teal Bunburry all had the opportunity to work with Addidas to add some of their own pink swag to a pair of kicks. Not only will the players be sporting their cleats at every game this month, but the cleats will also be for sale! LA Galaxy sported their entire team in pink tonight at their game. Breast cancer is near and dear to my heart because my grandmother suffered stage 4 breast cancer and beat it. I have a close friend that has a mother that has just completed treatment for breast cancer, and she is fighting strong. These women are the strongest women I know and I walk for them tomorrow. Tomorrow I am doing the Cedar Rapids, IA breast cancer walk with thousands of people to raise money for the cause. So we have all of the best players in American sporting the color of champions, are you wearing pink today?
Love the Business. Love the Game. Livin' Life Crazy.
Support the cause. Breast Cancer Awareness Month <3
Have a great week!

Wanted to share with you from the MLB Website: "Continuing a tradition that began in 2006, MLB celebrates Mother's Day at all home ballparks on Sunday as a platform to raise awareness of breast cancer in the interest of prevention, treatment and a cure."
