Women with adequate vitamin D levels at diagnosis show better breast cancer survival outcomes, according to recent research.

This underscores the importance of maintaining sufficient vitamin D — through sunlight exposure, nutrition, and personalized supplementation.
Regular testing helps ensure your levels are within the optimal range for overall health and resilience.

3-Step Standing Self-Breast Check

1. Look in the mirror

Arms at your sides, then raised.

Check for changes in size, shape, skin, or ni***es.

2. Feel your breasts

Using 3 fingers, make small circles over the whole breast.

Use light, medium, and firm pressure.

Cover from collarbone to bra line and armpit to sternum.

3. Check the armpits

Gently feel for lumps or changes in the underarm area.

If you ever notice new lumps, changes, discharge, or persistent pain, contact a healthcare provider.

Breast Cancer Prevention Month! 🌸
Did you know that breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide—and that less than 10% of cases are caused by family history? That means most cases are preventable.

At The Helen Knoll Foundation, we go beyond awareness. Our mission is to educate, empower, and protect young women by reducing the risks before cancer starts. Through early education, healthy lifestyle choices, and access to age-appropriate screenings, we’re helping women take charge of their breast health—because prevention is protection. 💕

This October, let’s do more than wear pink—let’s take action for prevention. 💪✨

Welcome to our podcast, Join the Conversation with Summer Keith. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are talking with the Helen Knoll Foundation about Breast Cancer prevention.

Every October, pink ribbons bloom across storefronts, social media feeds, and sports jerseys. But Breast Cancer Awareness Month is more than a color—it’s a movement rooted in hope, resilience, and the urgent need for action.

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. during their lifetime. It doesn’t discriminate by age, background, or lifestyle. Yet early detection remains one of our most powerful tools. Regular mammograms, self-exams, and knowing your family history can save lives.

This month, we honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and support the fighters still in the ring. But awareness alone isn’t enough. Let’s turn compassion into impact:
Schedule your screening or encourage a loved one to do so.Support organizations funding research and patient care.Share stories that educate and empower.

Behind every pink ribbon is a person—a mother, sister, friend, neighbor—whose life may depend on what we do today. Let October be the month we don’t just wear pink, but live it.
