We started it almost five years ago. The idea is quite simple. We ask women to do a monthly breast self-exam and then call a friend to remind her to do the same. Those who do find out they have cancer usually discover it in its early stages, when it's most treatable. No one is immune.
Breast cancer strikes one out of every eight or nine women.
The only recourse we have is early detection. Through self-exam and mammography we can take control of our own health and better understand our bodies. There are so many women in our lives that we can't live without. Our mothers, sisters, friends, aunts and daughters are counting on us. Together we can make a difference in this fight, one woman at a time.
