Dear Dragon Boat Friends,
Close to the Chest has officially arrived!
This beautiful book features 26 powerful, personal stories from individuals who have experienced breast cancer. Through honest storytelling and stunning portraits, the contributors share their journeys with courage, hope, and resilience. Whether newly diagnosed, years beyond treatment, or supporting someone you love, readers will find comfort, understanding, and inspiration in these pages.
The book was the vision of Tanya Farnan, whose passion and dedication brought it to life, with extraordinary photography by Hilary Gauld of One for the Wall. Together with the storytellers and many volunteers, they have created something truly special.
Dense Breasts Canada is honoured to be the recipient of the book's net proceeds. Every purchase supports the organization's work to improve breast cancer screening through education, advocacy, and collaboration.
If you or someone you know has been affected by breast cancer, this book may be a meaningful source of comfort, connection, and hope. Please consider ordering a copy, and if you're able, please share the link via newsletter or social media with family, friends, and fellow survivors. Every purchase and every share helps expand the reach of these powerful stories and supports Dense Breasts Canada's work to improve breast screening across Canada.
The book is available in ebook format and paperback and can be purchased through Amazon using this link https://www.amazon.ca/Close-Chest-Stories-Breast-Courage/dp/106797590X
