💖 PINK-OUT FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH! 💖 This weekend’s walk is a collab between some of the other walking clubs around the country! We are kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness month with a Pink-Out! Bring all your pink gear to this weekends walk! We hope to see you there! We have linked in our bio the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation for those looking to donate. The Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation’s mission is to raise funds for research and education to prevent breast cancer and improve outcomes for individuals with breast cancer. Investments are directed locally within the Chicago area, but drive impact globally. Overall, the average risk of a woman in the United States developing breast cancer sometime in her life is about 13%. This means there is a 1 in 8 chance she will develop breast cancer. This also means there is a 7 in 8 chance she will never have the disease. At this time there are more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. This includes women still being treated and those who have completed treatment. A screening mammogram is a quick, easy way to detect breast cancer early when treatment is more effective and survival is high. It is a x-ray of the breast that doctors use to look for breast changes in women with no symptoms of breast cancer. We have linked in our bio places that you can go to schedule a screening mammogram. A mammogram can find breast cancer that is too small to be seen or felt. If breast cancer is found early on a mammogram, it can be treated early when it is easiest to cure.
