Here is one of the national days I can really get behind. For so many reasons. For starters, I love any day I don't have to wear a bra. ;)

And also if you know anything about me, well. And also it's Breast Cancer Awareness month, which is dear to my heart since my mom is a 23-year breast cancer survivor.

Oct. 13 is No Bra Day, an annual holiday that encourages women to set the girls free in support of October's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While the occasion may be liberating (and so much more comfortable) for some women, the event is not without controversy. In fact, some find the event quite offensive. But No Bra Day helps raise awareness about a very important cause -- breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American women. Despite the many advances in cancer treatment and great progress over the years, the cause of breast cancer is still unknown. According to the National Cancer Institute, it is estimated that more than 230,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 40,000 will die. But many do survive breast cancer. In fact, 89 percent survived five or more years after being diagnosed between 2004 and 2010. Finding cancer early by regular self-exams and mammograms can save your life. Know the known risks and talk to your doctor about scheduling a mammogram.""

So come on. Do like Sting says: "Set them free. ... Free free, set them free."
