Kimberley Walsh took time out from
celebrating Girls Aloud's number one to return to her native Yorkshire and open a Haven Breast Cancer Centre in Leeds yesterday, having been inspired by her dance teacher Deana Morgan, who has recently been treated for breast cancer. As well as doing her bit for

Cue Shower Clock ($25) does the remembering for you.

Raising awareness and funds when it comes to fighting breast cancer is only half the battle. Tonight's TV movie on Lifetime,
Living Proof, shows that for the doctors and scientists working on a cure, the fight has just begun.

October is
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and tonight, NBC's
Kath and Kim is getting into the act. The mother-daughter team at the heart of the comedy has hooked up with Ford's
Warriors in Pink campaign to help promote awareness of the disease in tonight's episode.
Anyone who tunes into the show tonight will have a chance to win a Ford Warriors in Pink Mustang (which will also be Kim's car for the duration of the season — huh, who knew she had a license?).
