KEY CHARITY Positively Pink & Blue Positively Pink & Blue are the Mijas based charities offering FREE breast and prostate/testicular cancer screening to UK expatriates living on the Costa del Sol. During 2013 over 560 women accessed our FREE breast screening programme with thankfully only a small number of ladies receiving a positive diagnosis. Some of these ladies have already had their treatment and we are pleased to report they are doing well but Positively Pink continues to support those ladies who are still receiving treatment. 2013 saw the introduction of the Positively Blue programme to provide education, awareness and support for prostate and testicular cancer. In its first year Positively Blue had an overwhelming response to the 100 free appointments that were on offer, in fact the charity funded a total of 136 appointments for prostate cancer screening and educated them all on testicular cancer and the need to self examine. During the course of 2014 we have set ourselves the challenge of offering 1000 free breast screenings and 200 free Prostate
blood tests/testicular cancer screening. The 2014 campaign began back in February and to date we have had a tremendous response but continue to offer appointments for later in the year (call 952 835 776 now to secure your place). For us to continue to be able to offer these FREE services we need your support, as we need to raise the necessary funds to pay for the mammograms, ultrasounds and PSA blood tests. As a charity we are very proud of the fact that ALL the money we raise is used solely for the purpose of funding the professionals to carry out the radiography and blood analysis, all of the charities costs are absorbed by the two companies behind the charity. .... Did you know 50,000 women and 300 men will hear the words “you have breast cancer” every year in the UK alone and this number continues to rise... 1 man dies every hour of Prostate cancer..... “early detection is your best protection”. Help us to help you....
