⏰ 10am-4pm

We’ll be raising awareness, collecting donations and encouraging Islanders to Touch. Look. Check. Download. 💗

According to CoppaFeel!'s latest Impact Report, around 2,500 people under the age of 40 are diagnosed across the UK with breast cancer every year. That’s an average of 7 people under 40 every single day.

A huge thank you to Megan Murphy from ITV Channel Television for helping us share this important message for Pink October. 🎀

Breast cancer is less common when you’re young - but breast awareness shouldn’t have an age limit. Getting to know what’s normal for your body means you’re better placed to notice if something changes.

So give yourself some TLC:

💗 TOUCH - can you feel anything new or unusual?
👀 LOOK - does anything look different?
✔️ CHECK - get any new or unusual change checked by your GP.

And if remembering to check is the problem? There’s an app for that.** https://abc.org.je/mybreastfriend

ABC Jersey has partnered with My Breast Friend App, a completely FREE app that gives you friendly reminders to check and helps you understand what to look and feel for. Download My Breast Friend today. Set your reminder. Know your normal.

And send this video to someone you want to remind too. 💗

**Touch. Look. Check. Download.**

Give yourself some TLC. TOUCH LOOK CHECK

YOU DON'T HAVE TO NAVIGATE BREAST CANCER ALONE.

For more than 25 years, ABC Jersey has been here for Islanders affected by breast cancer – and the people who love them.

Our support is shaped around the individual and can include practical, emotional and financial help, from support with the costs and challenges that come with treatment to wellbeing services, monthly meet-ups and simply having people around you who understand.

Whether you've just been diagnosed, are going through treatment, recovering, living beyond breast cancer or supporting someone you love:

We're here.

Visit https://abc.org.je/ or contact us confidentially at [email protected].

Because no one should go through breast cancer alone.

OUR AMBASSADOR SARAH IS SPREADING SOME TLC!

A familiar face to many of you - and someone who is always getting behind ABC Jersey - our wonderful Ambassador **Sarah Burns** is helping us spread one of our most important messages this Pink October:

Touch. Look. Check.

💗 **TOUCH** - can you feel anything new or unusual?
👀 **LOOK** - does anything look different?
✔️ **CHECK** - if you notice a new or unusual change, get it checked by your GP.

There’s no special technique. It’s simply about getting to know what’s normal for you, so you’re more likely to notice if something changes.

And this Pink October, we’re making remembering even easier. 📲

Download **My Breast Friend** for FREE, set your monthly reminder and make checking part of your regular self-care routine.

A huge thank you to Sarah for once again lending her voice to ABC Jersey and helping us get Jersey checking.

69% KNOW. ONLY 19% DO!

Most of us know we should be checking ourselves regularly. But knowing and actually remembering to do it are two very different things.

In a survey of My Breast Friend users, 69% knew that monthly checking was recommended - yet only 19% were actually doing it.

The problem isn't always awareness. **It's turning awareness into habit.**

That's exactly why ABC Jersey is partnering with **My Breast Friend** - a free app designed to give you a friendly monthly reminder to check, helping **Touch. Look. Check.** become part of your regular routine.

Because knowing what's normal for you means you're better placed to notice when something changes.

Download My Breast Friend today. Set your reminder. Start the habit! https://abc.org.je/mybreastfriend/

And while you're there, send it to someone you care about too. 💗

**Touch. Look. Check.**
