A Breast Cancer Charity’s Impact on Younger Generations by Nikolas Velikopoljski | Oct 19, 2021 | Community Leadership, Nikolas Velikopoljski
The world marks October as the Breast Cancer awareness month, and doctors and campaigners make an effort to educate people about this topic. At the end of 2020, the World Health Organization found out that 7.8 million people have been diagnosed with breast cancer within the last five years. Recent research shows that breast cancer is one the most prevalent disease worldwide. However, the young people were not aware of how this disease could affect their lives, which motivated CoppaFeel!’s to launch an awareness program for those within the age bracket of eighteen to twenty-four. The Know Yourself Campaign began in September 2021, having the motive of sensitizing the youth on different ways of checking for lumps or abnormalities in their breasts. They included TV and radio advertisements and out-of-home adverts to help eliminate the stigma surrounding regular breast cancer checks.
