They allow people with certain health conditions - along with their loved ones, advocacy organizations, and support groups - to rally around a common cause and lend support. Education, fundraising, and support events are often held during these times. They can bring people together for a great cause. For example, February is American Heart Month, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and November is American Diabetes Month.
