Breast Cancer – please show you care



Hello, my name is Sapphire and I feel very passionately about the breast cancer illness and support. I’m trying to make you more aware about breast cancer.

• One in nine women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives, this could be you, if this was to happen to you, you will want all the support you can get from everyone around the UK. We are all at risk of developing breast cancer, so isn’t it right to support a cause which could benefit you in the future?
• Last year alone, Cancer Research UK spent nearly £45 million on life-saving research into breast cancer.
• Millions of people DIE each year from breast cancer.
• Early detection saves lives therefore the money spent on breast screening service is money well spent.
• Race for life is a great way of supporting and raising money for the trust.

I’m hoping that my blog has made you more aware of breast cancer, I believe it’s a very important trust to support, if you would like to donate money go too their website or arrange with myself; http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/breastcancer/about_us/aboutcancerresearchuk/

Please spare a moment to answer these questions;

Had you heard/thought about this issue before reading my blog?
Do you now feel more informed about the breast cancer illness?
Have I changed your opinion about it?
Would you now be prepared to try and raise money or awareness yourself about the issue?
Would you now be prepared to donate some money to the trust?

Thank you very much for your time!
