Breast Cancer Awareness Month – My Story

This is my first blog post of October! It’s up a bit late due to busy new mum schedule – yep that excuse once again. Well, it turns out that October is quite an important month for me. Not only is it my birthday and wedding anniversary month, but also a month of many great campaigns. October is also the month of:

• Breast Cancer Awareness Month
• Baby Loss Awareness Week
• Black History Month

I am going to try to dedicate some blog posts to each of these over the coming weeks, starting with Breast Cancer Awareness.

I posted this on Instagram earlier in the week.

#pinkribbon Beacause October is also #breastcancerawareness month. I cannot express how close this is to my heart having lost my mother to breast cancer 18 years ago. It’s also affected my sister, cousin and aunts. Early detection is key and there are many great campaigns going around at the moment. Check out @breast_cancer_care, @cr_uk or @coppafeelpeople for further information. If you detect any abnormalities or changes PLEASE see your GP, they will listen… It could save your life. . . . #breastcancer #pinkribbonarmy #breastcancercare #coppafeel #cancerawareness #earlydetectionsaveslives #womenshealth #menshealthtoodontforget #sharethecare
