Bravery is believing you can do it, even if you are scared. That’s what it takes, to meet a breast cancer battle, head-on, because that is a battle worthy of all the bravery we can bring to it.

    This year, we want to do more than just raise awareness… we want you to join us in taking the steps to good breast health. That means lifting our voices in support, that means taking action through donations and most importantly, it means encouraging ourselves and the women around us to get checked.

    Taking the Steps… Stay positive

    Early detection of breast cancer is truly a gateway to happy results.

    Brave men and women who take charge of their health are leading the way with early detection. We know that taking the steps can be daunting, but if we take them together, we can do it.

    It’s time to brave up!

    • STEP 1: Start at home… Do your regular breast self-examination
    • STEP 2: Make it a yearly thing… do a mammogram, as recommended by health professionals
    • STEP 3: Take care of you… don’t forget your self-care and celebrate the healthy wins along the way
    • STEP 4: Give Back by helping to donate to cancer research and local support organisations, such as: Jamaica Cancer Society & Reach to recovery

    Join us at the Jamaica Cancer Society on October 18 for your free mammogram.

    • Lump in breast or underarm
    • Thickening or swelling of part of the breast
    • Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
    • Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or breast
