Just a random thought: awareness months

Breast Cancer awareness month is coming up. I am not bashing people with this or people who have been affected by this.  Through experience dealing with something medical is not something that anyone should go through. And I truly believe that awareness months are a good idea. However, there is other diseases out there too. February is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness month. Who cares? No one. One in 555 infants have serious congenital heart defects that require multiple surgeries and millions of infants die from undiagnosed heart defects and in surgeries to correct them. Since no major networks are using the red ribbon or national walks are not taking place funding is lacking for heart defects. I believe that if we do one awareness month we should do all awareness months. As well as raising awareness for the diseases with not as many people having it. Because these diseases affect someone and people should be aware of this.
