Every October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In case you didn’t know, breast cancer is Singapore’s most common cancer in women, with an average of 1,900 new cases diagnosed every year.
There are many ways to support breast cancer awareness. In fact, the annual Pink Ribbon Walk is happening this Saturday, 6 October, at the Sports Hub, where there will be a Mammobus on the day for on-site screening, because early detection most definitely saves lives. A highlight this year will also be the Pink Ribbon Groove, a mass dance involving thousands of participants, including breast cancer survivors, which is sure to set a new record.
