Denver Broncos Stampede Drum Line, Columbine High Marching Band "Beat (the drums for) breast cancer"

The Denver Broncos Stampede Drum Line teamed up with the Columbine High Marching Band on Saturday to "Beat (the drums for) breast cancer." The rally happened at the Robert F. Clement Park Amphitheater in Littleton.

This is the final of more than 40 rallies across the nation to demand an improvement in breast cancer prevention efforts. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

"Adopting a whole food, plant-based diet, getting regular exercise, limiting alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight are the four keys to breast cancer prevention, and we are rallying to ask people to make this important commitment as we reflect on Breast Cancer Awareness Month," said Littleton nutrition expert Lynda-Marie Roy.

According to the CDC, approximately 42,000 women and 500 men in the U.S. die from breast cancer each year.
