When you practice preventive health, you take action, informed by evidence-based knowledge, to improve your chances of good health and better the odds of stopping disease before it starts.
Knowledge about risk factors can change the way you understand your risk of breast cancer. With that knowledge, there are changes you can make in your everyday life that will help to reduce your risk of breast cancer.

TAKE A LOOK AT PICTURES FROM THE LAST 2 YEARS OF #TEAMJANURSING #GET PINKd
Take a look at last year's participants MARCH 13 2014
Hi it's your Girl Ja Nursing, hope all is well. So some great things have happened since I last checked in.
March 13 2014 was international Get Pink'd day, I celebrated this day with our Toronto community. Firstly I want to say thanks you to all that participated in this event for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This was a fundraiser by which Get Pink'd buttons were sold. Thank you to thoses who purchased. However I didn't want to limit the participation, if a button wasn't purchased so I went to multiple businesses and events to raise awareness with the literature provided and took pictures of individuals that I was able to shed awareness about breast cancer, it's risks and prevention. I as well extended the campaign to our friends on social media by inviting them to wear pink on March 13 2014 and tag me.

I felt the support by our community. It showed me that participation is seen when a need is established with a cause. We did it! we took the effort to get involved. Thank You Toronto. It brought tears to my eyes to see the feeds go pink on social media on that day. Take a look.
Check your Breast!
Some more Pictures
Until we instarted I didn't realize how many have been effected 💞
The ability to bring awareness to breast Cancer in our urban community was especially a highlight for our Toronto community. I strived to bring this awareness all over our city and I will continue to bring awareness to topics that plaque us due to lack of knowledge.
I strongly believe knowledge is power.
What we learned is the community is best served with unity.
Knowledge is best utilized when shared.
Recap the stats
PREVENTIVE HEALTH AND BREAST CANCER RISK REDUCTION
Preventive health aims to stop disease before it starts – by making your health and well-being a priority.
It may be useful to bear in mind that breast cancer is a complex disease and risk reduction is not a guarantee against developing breast cancer – but it does offer concrete actions we can take in our lives now to help reduce that risk and lead to improved overall health and well-being.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer is a complex disease that will affect 1 in 9 Canadian women during their lifetime.
In 2013, it is estimated that 23,800 Canadian women and 200 Canadian men will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Earlier detection is key to the successful treatment of breast cancer, so it’s important for men to be breast aware and see a health care provider right away if you see changes near your nipple or changes in your breast.

Let's continue to strive for awareness. Thank you again to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for organizing GET Pink'd
