💗 Mission Monday: Turn Awareness Into Action 💗
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but awareness alone doesn't save lives. Action does.
This month, let's do more than wear pink. Let's turn awareness into action by encouraging the people we love to prioritize their health, schedule recommended screenings, and learn the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
Did you know?
🎀 Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States, accounting for nearly 1 in 3 new cancer diagnoses.
🎀 Early detection saves lives. Regular mammograms can help find breast cancer early, when it is often easier to treat successfully.
🎀 The American Cancer Society has invested more than $700 million in breast cancer research over the past 30 years, helping advance discoveries that are improving prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship.
At the American Cancer Society, we're working every day to end breast cancer as we know it, for everyone. But we can't do it alone.
This Mission Monday, challenge yourself to take one action: ✅ Schedule your mammogram or remind a loved one to schedule theirs
✅ Share a breast cancer prevention or screening message
✅ Support a survivor or caregiver
✅ Donate or fundraise for lifesaving research and patient support programs
✅ Learn more about breast cancer risk factors and early detection
Together, we can create more birthdays, more milestones, more hugs, more memories, and more tomorrows.
💗 Awareness starts the conversation. Action saves lives.
