Recently, my aunt Marina was diagnosed with
breast cancer. She is fighting bravely and has lost (and is regaining) her hair
through chemo. She has been an absolute inspiration and a source of strength
and joy in a time of pain. The thing that stands out about her..? Her sense of humor
and the humorous way in which she has looked at the trials that breast cancer has thrown
at her!
This mindset really reminds me of the
charity that I am posting about today: Coppafeel.
Coppafeel is on
a mission to stamp out late detection and misdiagnosis of breast cancer by
ensuring that you know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. They do this
with catchy slogans and taking a comical approach towards something that could
help to save your life. They promote knowing what your boobs look and feel like
normally, checking your boobs regularly throughout your lifetime and having the
confidence to seek medical referral if you detect any changes.
47,700 women and 300 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in
the UK. Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and what your boobs
look and feel like normally could save your life. Start the habit of a lifetime
today! You can even set a reminder for yourself
to coppafeel!
To support Coppafeel, you can:
·

online
·

Coppafeel
·
promote

events
Blessings!
