Cancer has deeply affected my family on a personal level, so any time I am able to speak up about it, I will.

As someone who had two breast related scares in the last year (As far as I know, I am fine.), I can only say, male or female, breast cancer can happen. If something doesn’t look or feel right, get checked immediately. In fact, you can look for free mammograms this month in many cities and you’re never too young, or too old, to get checked. Early detection gives you a greater chance at survival.

Take an hour and do something important for your own health and peace of mind. No one else should have to lose their life, their mother, Grandmother, sister, Aunt, cousin, best friend, etc., to breast cancer.

Mammogram your boobs instead of Instagramming them.
