Jazzercise South West Sydney

The Fight for Breast Cancer

 

Our resident instructor, Michelle Chandra, is taking on a great project - to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia. Michelle will be running the Sydney Morning Herald half marathon on Sunday 19th May, 2013 and she will be raising funds during her more than 20km run through the streets of Sydney!

We are supporting Michelle in her training through, of course - plenty of Jazzercise classes, and being able to financially donate to her efforts.

The link to donate to Michelle's run is:

We hope that you might too be able to help support Michelle with this great cause by donating as well - any amount small or large is much appreciated.

So what can we do about cancer awareness and prevention?

The good news is that more women than ever before are surviving a diagnosis of breast cancer thanks to early detection and more effective, safe and tailored treatments. Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease. Take the time to get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts while showering, dressing or looking in the mirror (this includes you too guys!). It’s never too early to start being breast aware and it’s important to keep up the habit, even if you are having regular mammograms.

Check out this easy guide to self breast assessments, happy self assessing and remember that make sure you see your Dr if required.
