A recent study from Rueters showed a link between exercise and breast cancer.

t may help prevent breast cancer and can be a safer way to lose weight than dieting, doctors said on Monday.
One report from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, said a study of women aged 55 to 69 found that those with the highest physical activity levels when the study began had a 14 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who got low levels of exercise.

The timing of this story is meaningful as it occurred on the same day that Jana Larsen Peters who founded Ribbons of Pink Foundation also passed away.
