Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Samples provided. All opinions are my own.

Did you know that 250,000+ women in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer every year?

Chances are you know someone or you have been personally affected yourself, it’s just that common.

Support is a necessity when facing something like this, and Hollye Jacobs’ (the author of The Silver Lining Companion Guide) and Allstate agree.  

file000590857181

Jacobs has partnered with Allstate to provide a free silver lining companion guides to everyone impacted by breast cancer – and is launching the Spanish version of the guide to accompany the English version currently being shared with women nationwide. Breast cancer is the most common cancer and leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic and Latina women.

The companion guide is a condensed version of Jacob’s New York Times bestselling book “The Silver Lining: A supportive and Insightful Guide to Breast Cancer,” and includes practical tips, important information and inspiration for those undergoing breast cancer.

“Allstate is dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of women across the country,” said Stacy Sharpe, senior vice president of corporate relations, at Allstate Insurance Company. “It is Allstate’s hope, and the hope of our agency owners across the country who have volunteered to distribute the guide, that it will prove to be a source of comfort, knowledge and inspiration to all who read it.”

The free companion guide is available for download or for pick up at participating distribution centers and select Allstate agencies nationwide. Download or find the nearest participating distribution center at Allstate.com/SilverLining.
