Join Stella’s fundraiser for Walk 100 Miles for Breast Cancer Now – South England Challenge

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual observance held during the month of October. It is intended to raise awareness about breast cancer, the second most common cancer among women in the United States according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021. In 2018, the latest year for which incidence data are available, in the United States, 254,744 new cases of breast cancer were reported among women, and 42,465 women died of this cancer. For every 100,000 women, 127 new breast cancer cases were reported and 20 women died of this cancer.

How to create Breast Cancer awareness

  • Promote patient-provider discussions of family history and risk
  • Present personalized information about breast cancer risk, especially for men or young women at high risk due to family history.
  • Directly encourage patients to ask questions to facilitate shared decision-making
  • Encourage providers to emphasize screening, risk reduction, and family history, especially for those at higher risk.
  • Share information about long-term care and survivorship
  • Promote specific resources that patients can request, like survivorship care plans, long-term care recommendations, or information tailored to young breast cancer survivors
  • Focus on concrete actions and behaviors, such as those that can minimize side effects and help patients make treatment decisions
  • Address sexual and reproductive health needs by sharing resources to manage long-term side effects.
  • Donate to a charity that’s supporting the cause.

Thank you to all those involved in this intiative. Thank you to all those that have already supported me and are donating to this major cause.

I decided to join the Walk 100 Miles for Breast Cancer Now after interviewing and listening to a woman who had survived breast cancer twice. This woman is today serving at the top (she is a CFO of a major airlines and is an Executive board member of IATA) she enjoys time with her family and is thriving (see her interview in the Stellar Woman magazine issue 6 where she shares all her knowledge and experiences) Join me in supporting the research to increase the survival rates so that many women can thrive and enjoy life with their families. Together we can. Please donate, join the initiative, share or like. Every little helps. Thank you #walk100miles #walk100milesforbreastcancer #fundraising
