Breast cancer is the number one cancer among women in Singapore and over 2,000 women are diagnosed every year. But if breast cancer is detected in its early stages, the five-year survival rate is over 80 per cent. It also has more treatment options available. All this to say, with breast cancer, early detection goes a long way.
This month, many brands are joining arms to spotlight on breast cancer awareness. They’re also giving back to further breast cancer research and we decided to round up 12 ways you can support them. From customisable laces on pink shoes to a three-tiered afternoon tea set, get the details here.
