HINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- UPPAbaby is proud to share its commitment to the fight against breast cancer this October by partnering with the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation.

"We strongly believe in the foundation's mission - that only by working together will we ever be able to achieve the common goal we share – to support those affected by breast cancer and one day have a future without breast cancer."
