Protect Your Mom - Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign |
|---|
|
Members of Green Globe gathered at Al Itihad square park in Sharjah and created awareness for breast cancer by expressing their views in form of posters. Students gather at the venue and set out to making posters until sunset. Soon we were off to Gulf Mart, a supermarket and displayed our posters and spread the message of importance of self exams to all the visitors by giving speech to them individually. October is called the pick month. 1 woman die every 13 minutes globally due to Breast Cancer and more than 400,000 die annually. The only way to reduce this rate is self examination every month & regular Mammogram for women above 40 every year. Early detection leads to 98% survival chances while late detection has a 27% survival chances. Protect Your Mom Campaign is an initiative by Ms Premi Mathew, for creating awareness among the masses regarding the importance of self exams in detecting breast cancer. This has turned into a global movement with activities being done across the globe to support her. She also has been collecting hair from donators to make wigs for Chemo patients. Hats off to her. And as a recognition to my activities, I am also chosen as the PYM brand ambassador. |
