October. The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). We all may have heard a fair bit about Breast Cancer but really haven't bothered to find out what's it really all about maybe because everyone always seem to believe that breast cancer only affects WOMEN 40 years and older. However, more and more young women are being diagnosed in their teens, twenties and thirties these days. Even MEN can be diagnosed with breast cancer! I'm not joking okay...statistics have shown that 1% of all diagnosed breast cancers are in MEN!
So, the In Support of Women (ISOW) club took up the "challenge" to create awareness amongst soon-to-be doctors&pharmacists&nurses&nutritionists...We had articles of celebrities who survived breast cancer, Self Breast Examining posters, human breast models from the Medical Musuem exhibited throughout the week. On top of that, we (the committee) thought it would be cool for us to sell PINK food stuff! Yes, you heard me right. There were PINK dougnuts *from J-Co*, PINK marsmallow-jelly *which looked oh-so-lovely of which i forgot to snap pictures of!*, and PINK home-made muffins.
oowh, and we had these real catchy badges too. *if you want them, let me know*
to all who have helped out in one way or another, a big thank you!
this event wouldn't have been a success if not for you ;)
