Empowering the Fight Against Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer Awareness Month shines a spotlight on a critical health challenge facing millions worldwide. We’re proud to announce our commitment to this cause by donating 10% of our online sales revenue to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) throughout the month. Partner with us in making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
Understanding CANSA’s Mission
Since its inception in 1931, CANSA has stood at the forefront of cancer prevention and support in South Africa. Their mission encompasses a holistic approach to battling cancer, including risk reduction, awareness campaigns, education, and providing care and support to cancer patients and their families. CANSA’s dedication to reducing the cancer burden makes them an invaluable ally in the fight against this disease.
The Growing Challenge of Breast Cancer
Recent statistics underline the urgency of addressing breast cancer, with an estimated 19.4 million women over the age of 15 at risk in South Africa alone. Breast cancer remains the most prevalent cancer among women in the country, underscoring the critical need for early detection and intervention.
The Role of Early Detection
CANSA emphasizes the importance of early detection in improving breast cancer outcomes. Regular screenings, particularly annual mammograms for women aged 40-54, are crucial. These screenings can dramatically increase the chances of survival by identifying cancer at its most treatable stages.
